Compassionate leadership: using technology to support a radically different sort of leadership
Julie Rogers

‘Compassionate leadership’ is about creating environments in which people can thrive. It is about creating the conditions – through consistently listening and understanding – for collective responsibility. It allows a non-blame approach to discussing errors, near misses and work overload. It also enables people both to call out bullying and harassment, and to have tough conversations about those times when performance just isn’t good enough.
In this session we look at compassionate leadership and follow HEIW’s story as they deploy a technological solution to support this transformational approach to leadership across the Welsh health service. It’s a lesson in transformation applicable anywhere.
