Excerpt … ” showcasing the work we are busy delivering across the system in London to:
- Work creatively to help craft genuinely positive workplace cultures;
- Support leaders in this context to lead with compassion and meaningful engagement; and
- Encourage people to surrender the notions of leadership in order to engage and develop new approaches to the challenge of leading.
The Leadership Summit offers those who join us a rich day of interactive and practical workshops, plenary discussions and helpful takeaways. We will ensure that all the themes of our work are covered, including Talent Management, Primary Care, Systems and Inclusion. Under these general headings, we will offer engaging and involving sessions, where attendees will have space and time to consider fresh ideas and new practice. For example, in light of the publication by Routledge of his book entitled “Radical Organisation Development”, Dr Mark Cole from the LLA will offer a workshop on the significance of acknowledging and rethinking power in health and social.
