Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine critically the concept of "leadership transmission", considering what theoretical and practical value this metaphor brings to the healthcare modernization agenda.
Design/methodology/approach: The paper develops understanding of the transmission metaphor, whilst theoretical perspectives on leadership are reviewed, including debates, which shed light on the concept by focusing on the phenomenon of distributed or dispersed leadership.
Findings: The transmission metaphor is perhaps misleading, by implying that "leadership can be caught" like a disease.
