The requirement for leadership skills is a universal one for clinicians, but the scale and scope of leadership activity varies according to the specific leadership role identified. Those doctors who progress as leaders will spend increasing proportions of their time engaged in leadership activities, often working at increasingly complex levels of organisation within a local Trust, regionally in a system, or nationally. The balance of required skills varies, in a way that is analagous to the changing balance of skills and activity as a medical career progresses.
