The Systems Leadership Approach. Session 5: Leading for Change: The Leadership Qualities that Matter in Inclusive Systems

We are all spinning multiple plates and as leaders we recognise that changes will take place and priorities and our focus will alter. The qualities that we bring such as how we visualise the system, the purpose and how to communicate this isn’t easy. We’ll share best practice with each other when considering the power dynamics, personalities and how to manage transition and change.

Learning outcomes:

System visioning: develop skills in envisioning and articulating a clear and inclusive vision for your system using two strategic thinking tools.

Managing transition and change: the psychology of managing emergent change and the impact it has on people is complex as everyone responds differently. Navigating the complexities ahead and communicating the purpose and conveying the vision will be outlined.

Power dynamics: understanding the intricacies of this, the personalities involved and how we can be catalysts to enable change to take place.

Feedback culture: establishing and nurturing a feedback culture within healthcare teams, where continuous feedback is given and received in an inclusive way.

Who is this session for:

These workshops are for those who want to learn and deepen their understanding of system working.  They are aimed at those who can return to their systems and positively promote and influence the benefits of working collaboratively with health and social care colleagues across your integrated care system, for the benefit of our patients and citizens.
