ARC Leadership Programme

Three Core Modules

Compassionate and Inclusive Leadership

(May 23 onwards)

RICHARD'S LAST WORD

wont involve people in determining how a target will be achieved’. The feedback was essentially saying I was efficient and good at driving the team for out puts but didn’t listen enough or consider their own views or opinions about how a target could be achieved or indeed why that target was important to patients, staff or carers.

This feedback had a profound effect on me and prompted me to go and work in the world of mental health and learning disabilities. I knew that environment was one which was less certain, and less target driven and would not respond to the managerial transactional style that I had developed. I honestly think if I hadn’t moved to that role, I would not have become a chief executive.

A chief executive’s primary task to service their organisation by listening and being aware of what is going on – listen, analyse and work with others. It is not about dominating thinking about certain problems or dictating solutions. That is what compassionate leadership is about.

I am delighted that many of our leaders have already made the commitment to attend this training which starts in June. Please do share your feedback about your experience on the programme.
