Not long till the 1st of the LftF Masterclasses! A chance to have half the cohort in the room at once - Have fun networking and sharing your learning.

Get ready...

Get set....

And Go! Cohort 11 is now open for applications. Applications are being taken in through Health OD Leads, The Scottish Social Services Council, SCVO and @ProjectLiftScot

In light of the huge challenges facing public services, we have taken the decision to postpone recruitment to Cohort 11 of Leading for the Future.

Grateful to all our partners for their support, and we will refocus our energy and attention on supporting all staff from Health, Social Care and the Voluntary Sector in the response to Coronavirus (COVID-19).

A little time to reflect.... what do you want your leadership thinking, visibility and presence to be? How will people experience your leadership during these uncertain times?

Today would have been LFTF Cohort 10 Consolidation Event. We raise a cuppa tea to a cohort living an adaptive leadership learning journey in real time. Can you take a little time today to consolidate your learning so far? Share your reflections with us if you can.

This speaks to the one of the core elements of LftF, the holding environment, disappointing people at a rate they can tolerate etc. It also really resonates with one of our "new" elements in describing what compassionate leadership looks like. hbr-org.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/hbr.org/am…

Being in denial of what goes on around us (environment, race, health) is not a strategy, so how can we as leaders turn to our blind spots to achieve transformation? medium.com/presencing-ins…

Only do what you can do...and support those around you to give their best.

Look out for the next QI Connect event: Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference #HISQIconnect

Happy to announce Cohort 11 is at last open for applications. Delayed by a year.... but what a year of leading adaptively it's been! Applications are being taken through Health OD Leads, The Scottish Social Services Council and @ProjectLiftScot
