Leadership Links Event 7th November 2018
Leadership Links

Leadership Links Event on 7 November 2018 focussed on developing leadership skills and sharing learning with colleagues and experts; developing collaboration and influencing skills and exploring creativity and innovation.

This event again offered a great opportunity to network with colleagues and partners; and to learn about Project Lift, a new joint initiative of the Scottish Government and NHS Scotland. Project Lift supports the development of leadership capability and capacity to transform health and social care. It is about exploring how leadership at all levels can achieve transformational change: what does transforming care mean to you, to your team and for the future?

This workshop built on the webinar Managing the Complexity of Collaboration.  Paul Hibbert invited participants to think about the difficulties of leading collaborations, and explore alternative ways that they might act; develop an approach to considering and building their resilience in the face of the difficulties of collaborative leadership; explore the application of these ideas through sharing problematic experiences with the group, to see how different options could be utilized in the future.

Dialogue in practice - Joanne Rafferty

Transforming services requires leaders, managers and staff to generate creative and collaborative solutions to complex and often messy issues – so the ability to talk and think together well is key.  Building on Sharon Millar’s excellent Introduction to Dialogue webinar, Joanne Rafferty gave participants the chance to practice and further explore the core concepts of dialogue together, using a mix of input, reflection, small and whole group conversation.
