What does it take to lead in times like ours? Deep Perseverance.
Collective Leadership for Scotland, with event sponsorship from Healthcare Improvement Scotland, are very pleased to announce that we are working with Margaret Wheatley to help take your system change work to a deeper level.
Scotland’s ambition for its future, as outlined in the National Outcomes, is inspiring. We know that doing more of the same but quicker and smarter is no longer the solution going forward but how do we change our engrained patterns of behaviour? When the scale and complexity of the challenges can feel overwhelming, how do we stand our ground in a way that allows us to take positive and perceptive actions?
Part of the answer is that we require a very different kind and quality of skills, experience and mind-set to persevere in our work without succumbing to exhaustion, overwhelm, cynicism and despair. Persevering people know what they stand for and who they serve. They develop the skills to deal with the obstacles, emotions, and dilemmas that may prevent them from staying the course.
This two-day event will be experiential, stretching and perhaps challenging at times but it is designed to help sustain you in your important system change work. Throughout the event, you will work on your own challenges and questions and also hear from colleagues and peers on how they have been making changes within their systems.
