The Impact

IntroductionThe Royal College of Psychiatrists’ (RCPsych) Leadership and Management Fellow Scheme was established to develop and support a new cohort of medical leaders within psychiatry. Sponsored and mentored by a trainee's local education provider, the scheme combines a high-impact national leadership and management training programme, with a novel in-programme apprenticeship model, where Fellows gain local leadership experience.MethodAn internal review team conducted a mixed-methods evaluation of feedback from Fellows and Mentors on the scheme’s structure, delivery, provision of individual leadership development and the impact fellows had on their teams and the organisations within which they were embedded.ResultsWith a response rate of 67% (n=20) from Fellows and 30% (n=7) from Mentors, a clear benefit from the scheme was observed, alongside opportunities for improvement. Strengths of the scheme included the bespoke in-programme design, mentoring from a senior medical leader, networking opportunities, and experiential learning through local leadership experience, which additionally promoted medical engagement within organisations. Opportunities for improvement included strengthening existing offers, particularly mentoring relationships and enhancing the network established between fellows.ConclusionsA bespoke, uniprofessional and in-programme leadership and management fellow scheme can play an important role in the development of future medical leaders within psychiatry.

The Impact

Purpose This paper aims to address the necessity of allowing non-formal and informal processes to unfold when using business games for leadership development. While games and simulations have long been used in management training and leadership development, emphasis has been placed on the formal parts of the process and especially on the gaming experience. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on a qualitative study of a French management game on change management, in which the game-based learning process is examined in light of adult learning. Findings This paper concludes that less formal dialogues that stem from formal activities make important contributions to the learning process. Consequently, the use of business games in leadership development should be didactically designed to facilitate such dialogues. While playing the game takes center stage, activities such as theory presentations, reflective processes, and less formal discussions must be allowed a place in an otherwise crammed learning process and to take up that space at the cost of playing the game. Research limitations/implications As the study is based on a qualitative assessment, the impact of the different parts of the process is not assessed. Practical implications This paper suggests that the use of business games in leadership development should focus more on the processes and activities surrounding the game rather than narrowly focusing on the game. Originality/value This paper suggests a novel approach to using business games that is not aligned with the current practice of emphasizing the game as the focal point of the process.

This research aims to measure the impact of a leadership development programme presented from the systems psychodynamic stance. The aim was to develop psychoanalytically informed change leaders to lead change and transformation in the continuously changing and transforming New Economy network organisation. In order to do this, a group relations training programme was presented for 30 leaders. Qualitative assessment using grounded theory during post-intervention focus groups interviewing indicated the group’s awareness of psychodynamic leadership behaviour such as the regression towards frequent pathological leadership personality characteristics, regression towards unconscious group- and organizational processes such as the basic assumption group, the covert coalition and socially structured defense systems against change and transformation. Insight was also gained in the new leadership role and the taking up of personal authority in the network organisation that needs to function as a systemic whole. Limitations in the study are noted and Recommendations are made to enhance change leader skills for leadership in the New Economy network organisation. OpsommingHierdie navorsing poog om die impak van ‘n leierskapsontwikkelingsprogram wat aangebied is vanuit die sistemiese psigodinamiese perspektief, te evalueer. Die doel was om psigoanalitiese ingeligte leiers te ontwikkel om verandering en transformasie in die gedurige veranderende en transformerende Nuwe Ekonomie netwerk organisasie, te lei. Ten einde dit te bolwerk is. ‘n Groep -verhoudinge-opleidingsprogram is aangebied vir 30 leiers. Kwalitatiewe evaluasie deur van begrondingsteorie gebruik te maak gedurende, die post-intervensie fokus groepe het ‘n groepbewustheid aangedui van psigodinamiese leierskapgedrag soos die regressie na dikwelse patologiese leierskapspersoonlikheidskenmerke, regressie in onbewustelike groep- en organisatoriese prosesse soos die basiese aanname-groep, die koverte-koalisie- en sosiaal-gestruktureerde-verdedigingsisteme teen verandering en transformasie. Insig is ook in die nuwe leierskap rol en die opneem van persoonlike outoriteit in die netwerk organisasie wat moet funksioneer as ‘n sistemiese geheel, bekom. Aanbevelings word gemaak om die leierskapsrol in verandering in terme van vaardighede in die Nuwe Ekonomienetwerkorganisasie, te bevorder.

IntroductionThe National Health Service Long Term Plan recognises that excellent quality care requires great leadership. Understanding junior doctor experiences of leadership development can inform organisations to improve trainee leadership skills.MethodsA survey of South West (SW) England trainees was conducted to capture views on leadership and management training.ResultsResults came from 190 trainees across both SW deaneries, areas of practice and all training stages. Respondents agreed that leadership skills are important for doctors (n=186; 99%). Lack of time was indicated as a barrier to developing leadership skills (n=139; 75.5%). Audits and quality improvement projects were used for developing leadership skills. Colleagues were the main source of support.DiscussionSW trainees recognise the importance of developing leadership skills, underlining the need to prioritise opportunities for leadership development. Respondents had ideas to improve areas of practice, where ideas were supported, they were implemented.ConclusionCompared with national findings SW trainee experiences are positive, with more ideas implemented, more time for developing skills and more resources used. Activities engaged in closely aligned to the 70:20:10 model of leadership. Trainees should be encouraged to access support from peers and create networks of opportunity. Additional research in this area is needed.

In a global economy characterized by convergence and consolidation, by shareholder pressure, by the war for talent, for knowledge and for customer bondage, Merger and Acquisition transactions (M&As) are seen as a fast, efficient and spectacular way to innovate. M&As are therefore a frequently used strategic tool for corporate development. However, as of now, more than 75% of all M&As fail to meet objectives and 50% even destroy shareholder value.M&As often fail due to poor leadership. Therefore M&As seem to require particular leadership and management competencies, namely the ability to lead through and manage transitions in which the manager him/herself maybe transitional (Sahl 1998). Management Andragogy, the self-directed, incentive-driven, intercultural interdisciplinary management training that builds on executives experience is known to develop managers leadership and management ability.In preparation of a dissertation on the influence of management andragogy on executives ability to successfully manage M&As this qualitative exploratory study investigates in the success and failure factors of M&As, the reasons for failures and success and the management and leadership competencies favoring success, It also looks at what skills need to be developed to achieve M&A success and explores how to develop them. The study was done before the Enron and WorldCom collapses and the Arthur Andersen failures had shaken the business community. In order to test the impact of these incidents on the investigated subject the author decided to return to the interviewees right after the WorldCom debacle to ask them the same questions again.

The Impact

While the Council of Europe as an Intergovernmental Organization has proven remarkably resilient, its archives and records appear to be increasingly fragile. This article documents and analyses the development of records management and archives management within the Council of Europe between 2000 and 2003. This was a period that saw major changes in the way that records were treated in the organization, notably the preparation and implementation of an organization-wide archives policy, and the introduction of an archives management training programme for Council of Europe staff. The concept of archives and records was extended from paper to electronic and audio-visual materials. An internal network of archive correspondents was introduced to increase communication, consultation, co-ordinate RM and facilitate the implementation of the archives policy, and a series of measures was taken to improve access to the archives and records. It was during this period that the first steps were taken in the introduction of archives and records management standards ISAD(G) and ISO 15489. The article highlights the lack of continuity of RM and the increasing vulnerability of records within the organization, suggesting that the lack of professional staff is the most critical issue; the analysis of the developments in this period also illustrates the impact that personal initiatives can have in such a context.

In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of planned learning from a training intervention, in terms of organizational performance, the systematic evaluation of the transfer of training is critical. The study followed a retrospective, longitudinal trend design with two groups of respondents and utilized the training evaluation measurement tools that the researchers developed. The key results of the study indicated the research’s value to the human resource development paradigm as research-based measurement tools, with known psychometric properties, were developed. These measurement tools could be used by training and development practitioners to effectively evaluate the impact made by a front line management training programme on the effectiveness of the organization.

IntroductionLeadership and management training/development programmes have gained increasing institutional attention in healthcare organisations, and they have a wide variety of formats and approaches. However, limited evidence exists about effects of these programmes for the organisations that sponsor them. A minority of healthcare systems in the USA measure the impact of these programmes on organisational metrics such as staff turnover or cost savings. This systematic review sought to answer the question, ‘What evidence exists that leadership and/or management development and training programs yield benefits for health care organizations?’ These benefits could include return on investment, improved productivity/cohesion/teaming, or increased use of specific management skills (eg, strategic planning) that would directly benefit the organisation.MethodsWe followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to conduct a systematic review of the relevant literature. We conducted two searches in PubMed and one in ABI/Inform, a business literature database. All articles included for the study were further categorised according to their relevance for answering the research questions, using predefined criteria based on their methodology and reported findings.ResultsOur search included 2462 studies, of which 55 met criteria for inclusion. We identified four potential organisation-level benefits to leadership and management training programmes: benefits to other staff (besides those who participate in the programmes), improved patient safety and satisfaction, tangible benefits from projects that were part of the programme and improved ability/confidence using leadership-related skills by programme participants. However, the research base on this topic is limited.ConclusionAlthough this research identified potential benefits of leadership and management programmes at the organisation level, additional research is needed to make definitive conclusions about their impact.

The Impact

IntroductionHealth leadership and management capacity are essential for health system strengthening and for attaining universal health coverage by optimising the existing human, technological and financial resources. However, in health systems, health leadership and management training is not widely available. The use of information technology for education (ie, eLearning) could help address this training gap by enabling flexible, efficient and scalable health leadership and management training. We present a protocol for a systematic review on the effectiveness of eLearning for health leadership and management capacity building in improving health system outcomes.Methodology and analysisWe will follow the Cochrane Collaboration methodology. We will search for experimental studies focused on the use of any type of eLearning modality for health management and leadership capacity building in all types of health workforce cadres. The primary outcomes of interest will be health outcomes, financial risk protection and user satisfaction. In addition, secondary outcomes of interest include the attainment of health system objectives of improved equity, efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness. We will search relevant databases of published and grey literature as well as clinical trials registries from 1990 onwards without language restrictions. Two review authors will screen references, extract data and perform risk of bias assessment independently. Contingent on the heterogeneity of the collated literature, we will perform either a meta-analysis or a narrative synthesis of the collated data.Ethics and disseminationThe systematic review will aim to inform policy makers, investors, health professionals, technologists and educators about the existing evidence, potential gaps in literature and the impact of eLearning for health leadership and management capacity building on health system outcomes. We will disseminate the review findings by publishing it as a peer-reviewed journal manuscript and conference abstracts.Trial registration numberPROSPERO CRD42017056998
