Well done LGA! They have created another
map to help identify collaborative working, but this time around Health and
Wellbeing. Through the SSA Collaborative Leadership programme we are being drawn into working in the Health Sector. We
are meeting great people, working in very complex, collaborative systems-wide
environments. But many are stumbling their way to success by attempting to lead
hierarchically because they have not been skilled in collaborative leadership.
Please spend a few seconds looking at what the map has to offer. It may be
worth just knowing it’s there for the future…

Local Government
After the report
last week on the terrible treatment of the elderly in a care home in Crawley,
Essex County Council brings us good news of “relationship-centred care”. They
report how, among many things, they have created “…positive changes in the
relationship between Essex County Council and the county’s care home sector
driven by …a focus on quality improvement rather than monitoring compliance,
effective leadership and a support network for managers”.
Many of the ideas in the report are worth stealing with pride and applying to your context…

Fire & Rescue Service
When teaching the Shared
Service Practitioner programme for CFOA, we have heard a number of
stories of the co-location of emergency services which have worked well, and
ones that have not. The common theme of the ones that have not is that the
focus has been on the plans for the building (the deal) and not on how the
different cultures will live together in the building (the relationships).
Drawing on academic reviews, and other evidence, we teach that in any form of
multi-organisational collaborative working, probably 75%
of the leaders’ time should be spent on the relationships and shared vision,
and only 25% on the deal. Hopefully this new shared emergency service
centre will take that into account…
