How Real Leaders Melt the Iceberg of Ignorance with Humility for Corporate · Rebels by Joost Minnaar, Pim de Morree, Fre
Our Leadership Model Our first step when set the challenge of designing a Leadership Model for the organisation was to ask the attendees at the Engage session in April earlier this year, to recall those leaders they had most admired, those they were happy to serve under and to tell us, ‘What were their behaviours?’ and ‘How did you feel working for them?’ They put their answers onto paper plates and we themed the responses.
We then put those themes onto Tricider and asked what these behaviours meant to our people and which were the most important. The results told us that engagement was the most important and also gave us plenty of rich feedback as to what LCFT people were looking for in our Leadership Model.
Next, we got to work pulling the model together. We referenced many current models and research amongst others, ensuring that our Trust Values were reflected throughout and we came up with what you see below:
Collaborative and Compassionate Leadership by Prof Michael West at the King's Fund The NHS North West Leadership Academy’s ‘System Leaders’ Behaviours’ How Real Leaders Melt the Iceberg of Ignorance with Humility for Corporate Rebels by Joost Minnaar, Pim de Morree, Freek Ronner and Catelijne Bexkens The Six Signature Traits of Inclusive Leaders for Deloitte Insights by Juliet Bourke and Bernadette Dillon A Sense of Urgency, A Sense of Hope - Building a culture and system for continuous improvement for AQuA by David Fillingham CBE and Lesley Massey Engaging for Success (more commonly known as the MacLeod Report) by David MacCleod and Nita Clarke and Robertson Cooper’s work on resilience

Now we need to find out from you what you like about it and what you think is missing. How does the language sit with you? Have we got it right or does it not resonate with you? We’ll be coming out to talk to various groups across the Trust about it, but in the meantime, if you would like to get involved please do get in touch with Maggie Blair or Emma Dawkins.
