ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011
‘The exposure to national policy and political insights via the programme’s speakers has been intellectually challenging and thought provoking and has supported me in developing a broader understanding of forthcoming challenges. This has been complemented by the discussion with fellow students.’
Frances Blackburn, Aspirant Leaders programme candidate
‘Chris Garner (Director of Talent Management, Bupa) was most useful in sharing his research and knowledge of different approaches to talent management… provided plenty of ideas and stimulated thinking for processes in the organisation.’
Delegate, NELA Leadership Summit: A Focus on Talent Management
The programme has benefited my project and general leadership development by describing strategies and techniques that I have used to move the work forward.
Also, by giving me confidence and belief that I can “raise my game” to lead on this work and project.’
Dr Neil Morris, Clinical Fellowship participant
‘I have found the programme really valuable. The combination of master classes and personal coaching has really complimented one another. As a result of taking part in the programme I feel more confident in undertaking the more challenging parts of my role and have learned really helpful practical techniques which I have been able to practice in the workplace e.g. managing difficult conversations and managing negotiations. The quality of the speakers has been excellent, as has the coaching with Karen which has really challenged and supported me during a time of significant change both in the Primary Care Trust and in my own role. Thanks to all involved!’
Catherine Parker, Emerging Leaders programme candidate
‘Personally I found the programme really helpful in understanding my management style and strengths as well as areas for development.
“The Leadership Academy has provided excellent development opportunities for a number of key leaders from NHS South of Tyne and Wear.
We are facing unprecedented change in the NHS as identified recently by Sir David Nicholson.
In order to chart a course through these turbulent times we must continue to expose our leaders to leading edge thinking in relation to leadership approaches and behaviour.
The academy has developed programmes which include a range and variety of leadership development not previously experienced by our top leaders with nationally and internationally renowned speakers regularly leading events.
In my view investment in leadership particularly clinical leadership continues to be a top
priority for the NHS as a whole.’
Karen Straughair, Chief Executive, NHS South of Tyne and Wear
The master classes have helped by providing a variety of tools and methods to help deal with complexities of leadership and they have given a wider appreciation if the issues and challenges facing the NHS. Finally, the programme has helped develop a network of colleagues and friends that will be invaluable in my future progression.’
Debbie Jones, Emerging Leaders programme candidate
‘The North East Leadership Academy has provided some of our brightest leaders with good opportunities to develop their potential within a new learning environment and to enhance their contributions at work’.
David Levy, Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development, Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust
