Leadership for quality improvement @ELFT_QI qi.elft.nhs.uk qi@elft.nhs.uk
What is the context within which we lead?
What type of leadership behaviours are best suited for this context?
Culture is a set of shared, taken-for-granted implicit assumptions that members of an organisation hold and that determines how they perceive, think about and react to things. Edgar Schein (1992)
Reflects what an organisation values Co-created by all in the organisation Dynamic Every interaction reveals and shapes the culture Organisational culture Most important determinant is current and future leadership
Power to reward or punish Shape the work lives of others Leaders Control information & resources Make choices about structures
Collective leadership means the distribution and allocation of leadership power to wherever expertise, capability and motivation sit within organisations The purposeful, visible distribution of leadership responsibility onto the shoulders of every person in the organisation
Leadership for cultures of high quality care 1. Prioritising an inspirational vision and strategic narrative focused on quality 2. Clear aligned goals and objectives from Board to front line 3. Supportive people management 4. High levels of staff engagement 5. Continuous learning and quality improvement the responsibility of all 6. High levels of genuine team working and cooperation across boundaries
