Leading through Change Workshops with The Pacific Institute - Day 2: High Impact Leadership

Aims

The whole structures across public services are changing rapidly. Services are being devolved to the local and community level across healthcare, education, the emergency services and all other sectors. This is creating the need for all those who work and deliver public services to learn to think and act differently. The end of the top-down approach to public services has created a vacuum in which a new generation of leaders will emerge. As public services are becoming more complex and highly interdependent, such as the emergence of Health and Well-Being Boards, attendance at Leading through Change will give you the confidence to try new and creative approaches to the workplace, deal with complex leadership situations and provide effective service outcomes.

The main aim of any organisation and their staff is to deliver the best service possible to their customer, be it patient, carer, service user or member of the public. However, services will only improve and be delivered more effectively and efficiently if they are successfully led at all layers of an organisation and have buy in at all levels, from both provider and user alike.

Understanding your organisation, including its workforce and how it operates, is key if you are going to break down silos and barriers and learn how to work cooperatively and collaboratively both within and between your organisations to the benefit of those who you serve. Leading through change will help you do just that, and will provide you with the necessary tools that you can take back to your workplace and implement to the benefit of those around you and those who use your services. Delegates will be left with a foundation upon which they can build a leadership framework that can be rolled out more extensively moving forward.

Those who attend on these days will return to their workplace with the basic tools that will allow them to: 

• Harness the leadership potential and talent we have across public services
• Build shared responsibility within an organisation
• Demonstrate appropriate behaviour across all levels of an organisation
• Develop and empower the leadership capacity of colleagues
• Seek to contribute to the leadership process
• Draw upon their values, strengths and abilities to deliver high standards of service

Summary

Effective leadership does not happen by chance, it needs to be nurtured. This one day course is aimed at all professionals who want to develop the knowledge, skills and qualities to be an effective leader, and will enable you to:

• Transform service outcomes at a local level 
• Understand your organisation and become an effective leader 
• Explore the challenges and opportunities to influence policy which impact on service outcomes
• Leading through Change, in association with The Pacific Institute is run over 3 non-concurrent days.
