The programme has been developed with West Essex CCG to provide the opportunity for personal development for those engaged in the recently formed Neighbourhood Boards across West Essex. It is a fully funded programme by the NHS Leadership Academy.
It brings together leaders from a variety of clinical and non-clinical backgrounds, all of whom have a role to play within the future direction of travel for the Boards.
Aims
To help you become a better leader with a greater understanding and appreciation of self and social awareness
In order to
Lead and influence others more effectively to bring around the changes you want to embed in your local neighbourhood
Areas covered:
• Why awareness is so important – the importance of relationships in a complex world
• Self in context – understanding the sense of personal leadership in a larger system
• Becoming aware of personal patterns, assumptions and choices and their intended and unintended impact
• Becoming more aware and increasing the responsibility for process (how you go about working) as well as content (what you work on)
• Developing personal influence
• Making meetings more effective

Self-reflection, time to consider leadership style/improvements
Being able to experiment
I have really enjoyed the time to reflect and be challenged on my thoughts. I have felt safe to voice thoughts
Very different, very helpful and relevant. Should be offered to most leaders
Very thought provoking and learnt about myself
I have found it useful, in that I am better able to reflect on my leadership style
Worthwhile course to learn about yourself and future opportunities. Time to think and reflection. Provides positivity and encouragement
Very worthwhile and definitely worth taking 2 days out of clinical practice
Attending the programme has helped me to stop and think about how others will see me as a leader
Well led, interesting and good learning curve
