Engaging leadership Leadership & culture
Content What form of leadership is needed for the NHS? What’s the research evidence of its validity? How can organisations build leadership capacity? What are the implications for HR professionals?
The reality… • “Life is going to get tougher…” as the NHS moves from a state of “real term growth of 3.5% to an absolute maximum of 1% growth for four or five years” Source: Andy McKeon (Audit Commission’s MD for Health) in In View, NHS Institute for Innovation & Improvement, Spring 2009, p. 3
Crucial challengesof leadership… To get more with less To do no harm To create cultures of improvement & quality To build capacity & sustainability
NHS Health & Wellbeing • Sick leave costs NHS £1.7bn a year • Cutting by one third would make annual cost savings of over half a billion (£555m) • More than a quarter of NHS staff absence is due to stress, depression & anxiety • “There is significant evidence to suggest that trust performance overall is linked to higher levels of staff health and wellbeing.” Source: Boorman Review ‘NHS Health & Wellbeing’ (August 2009)
Engagement Is….. ‘Engagement is a positive attitude held by the employee towards the organisation and its values’ ‘which affects the extent to which individuals put discretionary effort into their work’ IES (2004). The Drivers of Employee Engagement
Engagement is good for staff Wellbeing and health(Sonnentag, 2003); reduced burnout (Bakker et al., 2005) Reduced depressive symptoms, somatic complaints and sleep disturbances (Hallberg & Schaufeli, 2006) Higher self efficacy and commitment (Salanova, Agut & Peiro, 2005; Schaufeli et al., 2002)
Engagement is good for organisations Customer satisfaction (Corrigan et al., 2000; Harter et al., 2002) Retention/turnover (CIPD, 2004; Gallup,2004; Watson Wyatt, 2005) Productivity (Alimo-Metcalfe et al., 2009; Judge et al., 2001; Harter et al., Geyery, 1998) Profitability (Towers Perrin, 2006; Watson Wyatt, 2006; Sirota Survey, 2005) Safety (Harter et al., 2002)
Leadership Competency Frameworks Main source of data is ‘subject matter experts’ – the ‘leaders’ Rigorous research (sampling frame, psychometric robustness, validity, etc) Articulates the ‘what’ of leadership
Criticisms of Competencies • Overly reductionist, fragmenting the role of the manager, rather than as an integrated whole (Ecclestone, 1997; Grugulis, 1998; Lester, 1994) • Overly universalistic or generic, assuming that they are the same, no matter the nature of the situation, individual or task (Grugulis, 2000; Loan-Clarke, 1996; Swailes & Roodhouse, 2003) • Focus on past or current performance, rather than future requirements, thereby reinforcing rather than challenging traditional ways of thinking (Cullen, 1992; Lester, 1994) • Focus on measurable behaviours and outcomes to the exclusion of more subtle qualities, interactions and situational factors (Bell, Taylor & Thorpe, 2002) • Result in a limited and mechanistic approach to development (Brundrett, 2000) Bolden, R. and Gosling, J. (2006). Leadership competencies: Time to change the tune? Leadership, 2, 147-163.
Also … “we see little evidence that these systems, in place for years now, are producing more and better leaders in organizations” Hollenbeck, G. P., McCall, M. W., Jr. and Silzer, R. F (2006). Leadership competency models. Leadership Quarterly, 17, 398-413.
In other words … … being competentis necessary… …butnot sufficient, for effective leadership
Engaging Leadershipbehaviours Main source of data is - staff Rigorous research (sampling frame, psychometric robustness, validity, etc) Articulates the ‘how’ of leadership
The Engaging Transformational Leadership Model LEADING INDIVIDUALS Showing Genuine Concern Being Accessible Enabling Encouraging Questioning ‘Engaging’ TLQ™ Dimensions PERSONAL QUALITIES AND VALUES MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER LEADING THE ORGANISATION Being Honest & Consistent Acting with Integrity Supporting a Developmental Culture Inspiring Others Focusing Team Effort Being Decisive Building Shared Vision Networking Resolving Complex Problems Facilitating Change Sensitively
‘Engaging’ leadership principles Leader asservant and partner Leadership is a social process (‘ubuntu’) Leadership is about connectedness through a shared vision, co-ownership, co-design and empowering partners in implementation
Evidence of validity of the engaging leadership model Content, construct, convergent and discriminant validity Generalisable across sectors and countries (eg Local Govt; Central Govt; Police, Prison Service, FRS, Schools, Universities, FTSE100 companies, USA, India, Pakistan, Greece, South Africa, Australia) Alban-Metcalfe, R. J. & Alimo-Metcalfe, B. (2000). An analysis of the convergent and discriminant validity of the Transformational Leadership Questionnaire. International Journal of Selection & Assessment, 8, 3, 158-175.
The impact of TLQ engagement scales on staff in the NHS (N = 5,000)
Building leadership capacityfor sustainability Leadership & culture
Does engaging leadership predict productivity, morale & well-being? 3-year longitudinal study 80 teams (N = 743) Assessed leadership culture (LCCI™) (competencies & engaging behaviours) Alimo-Metcalfe et al., (2007)‘The impact of leadership factors in implementing change in complex health and social care environments: NHS Plan clinical priority for mental health crisis resolution teams (CRTs)` . Department of Health NHS SDO, Project 22/2002.
What did we measure? Outcome measures: Government targets re Team productivity Team morale(eg motivation, job satisfaction, commitment) Team well-being(fulfilment, self-confidence, reduced stress/emotional exhaustion) Alimo-Metcalfe et al., (2007)‘The impact of leadership factors in implementing change in complex health and social care environments: NHS Plan clinical priority for mental health crisis resolution teams (CRTs)` . Department of Health NHS SDO, Project 22/2002.
Contextual variables controlled for Mental Illness Needs Index (MINI) for the team’s area Availability of alternatives to in-patient care Age of the team Proportion of users presenting symptoms of psychosis ‘Gate-keeping’ power of teams Extent of ‘medical cover’ Multi-disciplinary nature of team Ratio of staff to service users
Evidence that engaging leadership predicts productivity Alimo-Metcalfe et al., 2007.
Results A Culture of ‘engaging’ leadershipsignificantly predicts: High levels of motivation High levels of job satisfaction High levels of job & org. commitment Reduced stress & emotional exhaustion and…. High levels of Team Productivity Competencies did not predict effectiveness Source: Alimo-Metcalfe, B., Alban-Metcalfe, J., Samele, C. Bradley, M. & Mariathasan, J.

Lessons from supporting cultural transformation • Top management buy-in is crucial: • Only start if organisation is ready, and committed • Be Transparent • Diagnose what’s needed where – not scattergun • Don’t stop there! • Relate everything to the values & aims • Ensure HR processes consistent with this • Evaluate ‘chain of impact’ (ROI) – publicise successes • Build Capacity, not dependency
Implications for leadershipin the NHS & for HR professionals • ‘Engaging’ leadership significantly increases productivity, and motivation and well-being • Competencies are necessary, but not sufficient • Leadership should be viewed as a shared or distributed process, embedded in the culture • Recruitment, appraisal, development processes should be scrutinised • Leadership development should focus on increasing both ‘human capital’ & ‘social capital’ (Equality & Diversity) • Building genuine cross-community partnerships
