• Leadership and Management• What Matters?• Talent Spotting• Leadership Qualities• 10 Steps to Leadership & Management
Leadership and Management -definitions
• Leadership is showing the way-showing what to do next. Leadership is not dependent on role or seniority.
• Management is the responsibility for the use of resources. Management is dependent on role and includes seniority.
The Context
• Since 1974, the NHS has undergone 11 major reorganisations (1 every 3 years)
• The average career expectancy of a Chief Executive is currently 22 months
• Leadership instability is not conducive to change, because it creates a ‘trust’ deficit
• Local management in the NHS is often perceived by clinicians as politically rather than patient driven, a view reinforced through a centralist approach to achieving national targets
A bit of theory........
1.Some personality traits may lead people naturally into leadership roles. This is the Trait Theory.
2.A crisis or important event may cause a person to rise to the occasion, which brings out extraordinary leadership qualities in an ordinary person. This is the Great Events Theory.
3.People can choose to become leaders. People can learn leadership skills. This is the Transformational or Process Leadership Theory.
“New paradigm” approach
• Less concerned with “Great man” models of leadership
• More concerned with change/improvement• “Transformational”- visionary leadership• More “soft stuff” emphasis on working through
others
“New paradigm” approach
Professor Beverly Alimo-Metcalfe of www.realworld-group.com
• Leaders with more faith in other people than they have in themselves (and they have a lot of faith in themselves!)
• Leader as servant and partner (Greenleaf)• Ambition, optimism, openness and personal
humility• Importance of connectedness & inclusiveness
What Matters?
• What matters is the approach to leadership and management
• What matters is how you do it• What matters is what you say, what
you do and how you behave.
From the ‘Leadership for Health Improvement Programme’ in ‘Managing for Health’ Chapter 7. Hannaway, Hunter & Plsek 2007)
The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.Albert Einstein
“ People do not resist change per se. People resist loss.” (Heifetz and Linsky 2002)
D x V x FS > R Richard Beckhard's Change Formula
• D = Dissatisfaction: The higher your dissatisfaction with the status quo gets, the more likely you are to initiate change.
• V = Vision: The clearer and specific your vision is the more traction you can acquire in making change.
• FS = First Steps: The clearer you on your First Steps the more capable you are at following through on change.
D x V x FS > R
R = Resistance to Change: Resistance can be about fear, time or monetary costs, emotional concerns or any number of issues or reasons that hold you back. Basically, resistance is anything that stops you from making change.
Richard Beckhard's Change Formula
A Leaders Role in Preparing for Change• Create a compelling narrative about the status quo and the
consequences of failing to change that is tangible, logical, has intellectual rigour and touches individuals
• Articulate a coherent vision about a future state that is both inspirational and desirable, and the role of the individual within it that makes them want to go there
• Develop a strategy which has clear and ambitious goals aligned wholly with the vision (not National targets!)
• Empower the staff, give them the permission and the skills, and help them develop their plans to deliver the strategy and achieve the vision
• But there must be:– Consequences for not changing– Disincentives for resisting– Benefits from moving to the new state– Incentives for getting there quickly

Succession planning is typically defined as ‘a process by which one or more successors are identified for key posts (or groups of similar key posts) and career moves and/or development activities are planned for these successors. Succession planning sits inside a much wider set of resourcing and development processes that can be defined as succession or talent management’ (Hirsh. W. IES Report 372, October 2000).
