Excerpt from abstract: “Little is known regarding how compassionate leadership is perceived in community health care organisations. The aim was to understand how leaders and senior staff within a Community NHS Trust perceive compassionate leadership and its importance. This qualitative study employed semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Purposive sampling was used to recruit nursing leaders (n=11) within one Community NHS Trust.”

 Changing together: brokering constructive conversations
Johnston L and Wilson G 
Published by the Social Care Institute for Excellence , May 2017
Excerpt : There were four strands of work that contributed to this report:
A rapid evidence scan, undertaken by ICF. Key research questions included:  What ‘wicked issues’ does the Five Year Forward View present for local health and care economies?  What is meant by a ‘constructive conversation’, how might it be defined?  What attempts have been made to involve the public in constructive conversations in health and other sectors?  Why have health economy transformation projects failed to facilitate constructive conversations in the past? Where have they been successful and why? The review looked at published evidence and literature, including readily accessible grey literature; quantitative and qualitative empirical studies; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; and evidence-based reviews/commentaries and a brief survey of theoretical and conceptual literature was undertaken to help address the first two research questions. The other work strands were a workshop, conversations with senior leaders , and action research with three case study sites (Mid-Nottinghamshire, Dudley and Camden and Islington).

Excerpt from abstract:  A literature review was conducted to find adolescent research that investigated decision making and risk taking. The data obtained were integrated and implications for leadership were drawn from an analysis of the resulting theoretical framework.
The Baby Boomer generation who currently hold many of the leadership positions in organisations are coming close to requirement. They will have to be replaced by members of Generation X and the Millennial Generation resulting in potentially younger leaders. In addition, flatter organisational structures that are currently being implemented in many organisations will require leadership at many more levels. Thus, we need to be able to develop leadership skills in a more diverse and younger section of society. Understanding how the brain develops can help us to design appropriate leadership experiences and training for this upcoming generation of young leaders.

Encouraging disabled leaders in higher education: recognising hidden talents
Stimulus Paper from the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education, March 2017
Martin, N (Professor), London South Bank University
The author gives draws from the limited available literature (full list of references is given), and  based on this and insights from the study participants, concludes; “Disabled leaders tend not to be visible despite often possessing characteristics and the skills associated with effective leadership. Further, the study reveals numerous examples of disabled leaders sensitively adapting to circumstances and team dynamics and expressing a degree of cynicism about the idea of charismatic leadership. However, without strategic level commitment to eradicating barriers and sustaining change, the status quo will remain. Disabled people work effectively within well organised, supportive environments where they feel valued and have some control. Inclusive practices and universal design reduce the requirement for individualised adjustments and benefit everyone. A number of suggestions for action are identified, including strategic responses, inclusive design and reasonable adjustment responses, a focus on leadership recruitment and development, and developing peer support, mentoring, networking and equalities-focussed leadership training”.

Second, we highlight the key insights and contributions of the articles included in this special issue by reviewing their theoretical underpinnings, methodological approaches, and findings.
