About the Event
Systems leadership is designed to help in situations where you are not in charge, or where you don’t have positional power, levers to pull, or a large budget to wield. It can help in getting messages across and in influencing other people, especially in hierarchies, where people don’t usually agree with you, in political environments, or where people are trying to bring traditional silos together and work in new ways.
3SG is part funding this training alongside Wiltshire and Swindon colleagues as a result of feedback to support our way of working together and how we choose to participate and engage, given the complexity of working in the new BSW ICS system.
The Session outline and objectives are attached for further information, however highlights include:
- How to lead when you are not in charge
- Understanding Systems Leadership in relation to Integrated Care Systems? So that you can change perspectives and have some different conversations, even in difficult circumstances
- If you want to move things in a particular direction, or to influence, the first thing is to know what you’re dealing with...
- Watching for people reverting to blame rather than learning
- Watching out for people trying to pretend everything is a success
- The collaborative leadership of a network of people in different places and at different levels, creating a common purpose and cooperating to make significant change
- Practising and encouraging behaviours that lead to change
- You can have influence wherever you are: you don’t necessarily need positional power (and you may have more room for manoeuvre than you think).
