Summary

This study follows 50 first- and second-line healthcare managers in Sweden who take part in a leadership development program. Researchers want to understand their expectations, skills, and conditions for practicing management before, during, and after the program. Participants fill out questionnaires, keep diaries, and join focus groups to share their experiences. The goal is to learn how such programs can support managers in their roles.
