The reflexive leader : reflecting in and on action to strengthen our capacity to learn to lead
This webinar explores the essential ability to continually learn as a leader and its vital importance in today’s health and care context.
We know how essential it is to be a reflective leader. Learning to lead comes as part of the parcel of fulfilling any leadership role well, now and in the future. Yet it is all too often we prioritise action and task over time for reflection.
How we show up as leaders matters. A good definition of leadership development is “learning to be yourself more skilfully” according to Peter Homa, a recently retired NHS Chief Executive. Peter, like many others, emphasises our ability to invest in ourselves as always learning and growing, “leading is a life-long learning seminar”. How we reflect and adapt our practice, the good, bad and the ugly matters. There is a huge amount of research that leads us to conclude that leaders who reflect and adapt continually are more likely to succeed.
This webinar is presented by Jenni Jones and Joanne Rafferty.
