Abstract
This article describes the development and implementation of a course aimed at developing leadership in the emerging Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder Service nationally. The problematic nature of defining and conceptualising 'leadership' is discussed as well as the debate around whether leadership can be learned. These form the background for a discussion of this unique and innovative programme. The course is described in relation to its aims, unique features such as mentorship and virtual e-learning. The evaluation process is described. Despite the noble intentions of course planners and providers, the conclusion in relation to this course, is that 'the jury is still out'.
