The Systems Leadership Approach. Session 4: Leading Together: Embracing Distributed Leadership

Diffusing leadership through the systems that we operate requires us have a collaborative and inclusive approach. The ability to be adaptive and responsive means that we need to leverage the diverse perspectives and ideas of others. We’ll discuss motivation and empowerment, coaching and creating a feedback culture that helps us to embrace and embed distributed leadership into our practice.

Learning outcomes:

• Inspiring leadership: explore strategies to ignite and uphold responsibility and accountability within your teams and system we’ll consider how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can help to drive engagement and enhance collective efficacy.
• Performance and strength-based coaching: acquire skills in performance management and strengths-based coaching, facilitating professional development within a distributed leadership framework.
• Facilitating courageous conversations: the ability to engage in open, transparent, and constructive dialogue through courageous conversations, enabling effective communication and conflict resolution within distributed leadership structures.
• Embedding distributed leadership into practice: discussion on embedding distributed leadership into everyday practice within healthcare settings.
