Leading as an Informal Leader

What is an informal leader?

An informal leader can be described as someone worth listening to because of their lived experience and reputation among peers. Being aware of your own informal leadership can help you to communicate your thoughts and ideas more effectively, and influence decisions with integrity.

This session is intended to support those who do not see themselves as holding a formal position of authority, or those seeking to step into a more formal leadership or management role.

Within health care some of us will be official managers of people and/or processes. However we can all step into a position of leadership whenever we aim to support a colleague, implement an idea or influence the outcomes. Leadership skills are important for everyone, regardless of role or pay scale.

This bitesize session will offer a space to

• Explore a way of understanding your own reactions and responses, and those of others
• Explore developing your personal impact and presence
• Explore approaches to influence with integrity

This is an interactive session; please ensure that the self-assessment pre-work is completed and that you join from an area that will allow you to fully participate in discussions.
