Good management is vitally important in the changing environment of health care. Health Care workers are often expected to deliver high quality care in pressurised circumstances. Today, the individual is also expected to supply much of his or her own direction and motivation and to contribute to the achievment of the corporate aim without direction or detailed instruction.
