Complete Leadership Series – Leading with courage and compassion Cohort 3

This workshop is part of our Complete Leadership Series, leading and influencing in teams and systems, to help you target areas of development leaders and managers have identified as top priorities right now.

About the workshop.

The need for a people-focused approach to leadership in the NHS has become vital in the recent turbulent times. Compassion and courage are two of the six NHS care values required by health and social care staff. This workshop will explore how they can make us effective leaders who focus on the need for a passionate commitment to do the ‘right things at the right time’ for service users. 

This engaging and interactive workshop, which will be split into two modules, will provide an important insight into what it means to lead with courage and compassion in the NHS. An interview with an expert guest speaker will outline why leading with courage and compassion is important in meeting the challenges of the current and future climate. A range of highly relevant case studies will be used, showing service users’ experiences and ethical dilemmas. These will provide a basis for facilitated group discussions on what is the ‘right thing’ and (importantly), how and when to do it to get successful and safe outcomes. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your values, your authenticity and how you demonstrate courage and compassion in your leadership role – along with how you transmit this through to your colleagues. 

What will be covered: 

• Identify what we mean by compassion, courage and the behaviours associated with them 
• Explore how leading with courage and compassion fits with the healthcare leadership context 
• Explore how moral and ethical dilemmas in the system impact on your leadership role and develop approaches to resolving them 
• Consider the link between patient pathway and the patient experience 
• Identify how mindset, style, and previous experience can influence an individuals’ approaches to leading with courage and compassion
