Abstract
Briefly examines the organizational context of the clinical director in the NHS. Utilizes theoretical contributions from cultural, symbolic, political and postmodernist perspectives and applies these to the experience of clinical directors. Discusses the importance of understanding individual subjective views of meaning as represented in purposive/cognitive maps. Concludes that the clinical director should be able to diagnose the subjective views of organizational participants as a basis for understanding individual/group behaviour.Keywords
