SUMMARY:Complete Leadership Series - Leading for an Inclusive Culture
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part of our Complete Leadership Series\, leading inclusively and compassionately\, to help you target areas of development leaders and managers have identified as top priorities right now. \nAbout the session:\nWe continue to lead through the challenges of Covid-19 and we know as we move into the winter this year the cost of living crisis will start to be felt by many in the NHS. While living with complexity\, uncertainty\, ambiguity and volatility compassion for ‘others’ can often be overlooked. Leaders need to think about their role in this changing landscape and how they can support the creation of relationship-based leadership work in the virtual and physical world. \nThis workshop series is for all leaders. It is about what you ‘do’ as a leader to create a socially inclusive culture and not who you ‘are’ as a leader. \nWorkshop One: Leading with Cultural Sensitivity\nWe will explore what ‘otherising’ means\, seeking to appreciate difference and understanding bias in all its dimensions and drivers. Taking an appreciative & positive approach we will use various models and tools to support you to use your curiosity\, to understand emergent challenges around cross cultural dimensions and how to build a bridge of trust with others\, with empathy and sensitivity. \nWorkshop Two: Leading Inclusively and Appreciatively\nWe will build on the theme of understanding\, to focus on communication and messaging and to be an active catalyst for an inclusive culture. We will explore how to recognise micro-aggressions\, how to generate agency\, supportiveness and allyship in others and how to be an active bystander through interventions. Developing the courage to lean into difficult situations\, developing the skills for adaptive styles of communication and messaging are all themes of this workshop. \nWhether it’s about your colleagues\, patients\, service-users or carers\, you’ll learn\, as inclusive leaders\, how you can lead by example and develop a culture of appreciation for diversity and the challenges of also working in a virtual world. \nEach workshop will last for 3.5 hours\, with breaks\, and we will use a variety of models and break-out techniques for you to explore challenges and barriers and develop a personal plan. This programme is not to teach you about ‘difference’ but to help you to lead with what makes us all unique and stronger together. \nPre-Course Work – to be completed prior to the session \nTo Watch: Cultural intelligence.

It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing thing. It’s an incremental approach and [you] can start to introduce the coaching approach into your conversations in lots of different ways. And it doesn’t have to be that that whole conversation is a coaching one\, but that you are using elements of what we are learning. It’s part of our toolkit now and making us think differently about how we might have some of our conversations.”   \n“This course seemed unique in its focus on simplicity and practice\, with regular feedback – instead of coming out of it thinking with practice this will be really useful\, but then forgetting to practice to embed it. I am already using it and it is becoming second nature to me.”  \n“Definitely do less. To achieve more. Because it doesn’t make you a worse manager. It actually makes you a better manager”  \nListen to how physio Ben Jeeves is using a coaching style in his work with patients.  \n  \nOther information: \nIf you are unable to attend any of the sessions above please register via our Expression of Interest page\, this will help us to understand the demand for our programmes and plan accordingly.
