Abstract

Managing and leading often form an integral part of a doctor’s daily work life. Apart from managing yourself, your own time and affairs, you may get involved in managing others, your team, your clinic, your department, your hospital or institution. You may manage a process, a project, the rota, the teaching program, the theatre list allocation. You may manage a conflict, a meeting, or manage change.
