Leading across a system requires a massive & ongoing commitment to the practice of collaboration. A new report from @TheKingsFund sets out six areas of practice for effective collaborative leadership:
1) create a safe, inclusive & trusting environment
2) build & maintain healthy relationships
3) create a shared purpose
4) manage power dynamics
5) surface and manage conflict
6) promote shared decision-making

It has been my privilege and joy to lead VHS and work with such fantastic people all this time. VHS plays a pivotal role in Scotland's third sector and health landscape, so I'm calling on the many great leaders out there to think seriously about becoming our new Chief Executive.
Loved our session with @FPscotland today. @thistle_flora has shown tremendous leadership and vision investing in learning from the start of the Future Pathways journey. It is amazing to hear all about the difference that has made to the way they work.
