  • Great reflection Michael - and using that to find a shared purpose is often enough.

  • It can feel daunting now that a lot of these connections are online and virtual! But finding that common or shared purpose is a great start!

  • Thats great Catherine. Often we are "networking" without realising - simply by making connections in our day to day work.

  • Agree Lynda - its harder to create those spaces.

  • and never underestimate the influence you have to make change in that space!

  • data can be incredibly helpful - and then being able to combine that with relating to a personal or shared individual experience - even more so!

  • Really helpful reflection Mike - thank you for sharing

  • Absolutely - useful to apply to life outside of work as well. It takes a lot to get into the regular habit - but worth it!

  • Thats great - just taking one small step at a time - that is how change happens!

  • There have definitely been moments in time where the landscape has changed and some of these characteristics are amplified.

  • I love this. Being open.

  • Shared purpose can be crucial!

  • Absolutely and every interaction with each smaller system will have a ripple effect

  • Absolutely possible Claire - and a lot of it will be contextual

  • very interesting when you apply the same principle to our own systems

  • Thanks for sharing Deborah - you absolutely have influence. You connect with people around you and show leadership in your own area and work every day. Try and think of every interaction as an ability to be able to demonstrate a shift in mindset - every bit counts!

  • Thanks for your reflection Tracie. What role do you play in that? Are there parts of the system that you haven't connected with yet?

  • And I would imagine a constantly changing "web" in terms of those involved? perhaps a useful exercise to do regularly Claire?

  • @LizFletcher Hopefully as you work through the course you will get some of these techniques and tools.

  • A great reflection Eden, and hopefully as you work through the course you will get more tools to support you with this

  • My sincere apologies @ClaireReynolds - we have just realised that the address is incorrect. It should be system.leadership@leadershipacademy.nhs.uk
