Healthcare leadership is often discussed in terms of frameworks, competencies, and improvement methodologies, while overlooking the relational, emotional, and human realities of practical leadership. Leading with Curiosity: Case Studies in Nursing and Midwifery Leadership addresses this gap by offering a different kind of leadership resource, grounded in lived experience, relevant storytelling, and reflective practice, rather than prescriptive models alone. It discusses leadership as both a science and an art, recognising that effective leadership in complex healthcare environments requires judgement, curiosity, and the ability to navigate uncertainty. - Includes real-world nursing and midwifery case studies that demonstrate how to build psychological safety, support speaking up and learning cultures, and shape compassionate, high-performing teams
- Employs three structured levels of reflection—Informed, Skilled, and Influencer—that benefit readers at every stage of their leadership journey. This layered approach supports both individual growth and progression into wider cultural and system influence
- Introduces a range of practical, original frameworks that can be applied directly in practice, including the 3 Cs of Curious Leadership (Connect, Challenge, Create); the SPEAK framework for courageous conversations and speaking up; a culture compass to understand and shape team inclusivity and belonging; and the anatomy of a good question, supporting intentional and impactful inquiry
- Discusses key topics such as curious leadership in healthcare, leadership and culture in complex systems, storytelling as a leadership tool, reflective practice and learning in action, leading through uncertainty and ambiguity, leadership identity and personal growth, and more
