Welcome to our ‘Spotlight Sessions’ – events designed to raise awareness of an idea, approach or research that we believe could interest and inspire those involved in Social Work, Social Care, Health and related Third and Voluntary sectors. These sessions are open to all and recommended for anyone across all sectors interested in understanding more. As Leading to Change, we are delivering a series of awareness sessions relating to core themes within Social Work and Social Care with the intention of ‘shining a light’ into the areas of the sector that others may know very little or nothing about. We want to give people insights into roles and functions and the impact on ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ with a view to reinforcing the message about collaborative leadership and the difference it can make.
Join us as we explore the concept of ‘Systems Leadership’. This way of thinking is not just for senior leaders, it is for us all. By taking this approach, we can identify where we contribute to the organisation and where we can create real impact by breaking out of our silos and work in collaboration. This session will be a mix presentation where we demystify systems leadership and how we understand what we need to pay attention to with some time to make sense of how this applies in your own role.
