What happens when a leader sees the need for values to be reflected in behaviour, to guide decisions and to create difference?
The CEO of a large healthcare system in the north of England, Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust (LCFT) believed that leadership was everybody’s day job and wanted to create the environment where the culture of values driven leadership could be developed. This challenge was at the heart of a European Tendering Process won by FMA in 2010.
How did FMA respond to the challenge?
FMA designed, developed and evaluated an Appreciative Leadership Development Programme, which ran from 2011-2016. Appreciative Leadership Development is a transformational strengths-based approach that sees the leader as a thinker and facilitator; creating space for inquiry and conversation, supporting teams to become communities of purpose and contributing to organizational development. It is underpinned by the theory of Appreciative Inquiry and Whole Systems Change.
How can you as a development provider deliver sustainable difference using conversation and inquiry?
The purpose of the session is to demonstrate from this real case study how organizational values can be at the heart of the design of appreciative leadership development programs and to analyse the significant impact of the method of delivery and engagement with participants. The learning environment may be viewed as a microcosm of organizational life where thinking can change, understanding can deepen and assumptions can be explored through the use of appreciative inquiry and conversations. The session will share design formats, the levels of engagement and response and share stories about what did and didn’t work.
Please RSVP and we will send you a weekly email with information on the case study.
