TRACE the leadership journey: high-performing leadership from self to system

Join our interactive webinar on 28th January, with other leaders from across the UK, which will bring together theory and practice on high-performing leadership in an innovative new model, called TRACE. It will help you develop others as leaders as well as help you better lead yourself, teams, organisations and complex systems.

Leadership: from surviving to thriving

High-performing leadership is one of the most critical differences between teams, organisations and systems that struggle and those that thrive. But what characterises this kind of leadership, and how can we develop more of it?

Here’s what we’ve learned: genuinely high-performing leadership rarely happens by accident. Leaders aren’t born, they’re developed. And they need to be developed so that they can:

• co-create the 5 TRACE conditions which enable others to achieve their shared goals
• act as ‘Architect, Composer and Coach’ in creating these conditions
• lead effectively across four interconnected spaces: self, team, organisation, and system.

This interactive session introduces our new, evidence based TRACE framework—a practical approach to understanding and developing leadership that creates the conditions for high performance, wherever you’re leading.

Who’s speaking?

Our speakers will be:

• Andy Knox, Medical Director, NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB; GP Partner, Ash Trees Surgery, Carnforth;
• Honorary Professor (Compassionate Leadership), Lancaster University Management School
• Sheila Stenson, Chief Executive, Kent and Medway NHS & Social Care Partnership Trust
• Katie Goulding, part of Kaleidoscope Health and Care (OD and leadership practitioner)
• Shane Carmichael, part of Kaleidoscope Health and Care, and Lecturer in Healthcare Leadership, UCL

Who’s the event for?

This event is ideal for anyone in a leadership role or responsible for developing high-performing leaders in the NHS, local authorities, and public services more generally. You might be leading:

• in an ICS, ICB or NHS trust
• in a national NHS body or government department
• in a community provider of health and care services
• in local government, or wider public services
• in a charity or social enterprise

Whether you’re formally designated as a leader or simply finding yourself responsible for enabling others to achieve shared purpose in conditions of uncertainty—this session is for you.

What will you get out of it?

This webinar will give you a framework for making sense of your leadership across different contexts, along with:

• practical insight into the five conditions that characterise the presence of high- performing leadership
• awareness of the three roles high-performing leaders fulfill in creating these conditions: Architect, Composer and Coach.
• increased understanding of how leadership shows up differently across self, team, organisation, and system
• real examples from NHS leaders navigating these spaces in practice
  connections to others wrestling with similar leadership challenges across complex systems.
