“Making change actually happen takes leadership. It is central to our expectations of the healthcare
professionals of tomorrow “Darzi, ‘Next Stage Review’,DoH, 2008

Making sense of theories ...1. Theories that focus on the personal qualities
or personality of the leader as an individual2. Theories relating to the interaction of the
leader with others3. Theories which seek to explain leadership
behaviours in relation to the environment or system
How does this help us?

Building leadership capacityBolden (2004) distinguishes between:• developing individual leaders (‘individual capital’)• developing ‘social capital’ through system wide approaches and capacity buildingStructured, programmatic development is most effective, workplace based, clearly aligned with curriculum or organisational goals and health needs
![Page 14: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What capacities are we building?• Political ‘savvy’• Understanding the terrain• Curriculum and educational expertise• Leadership skills• Change management• Management skills• Followership • Team working
![Page 15: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Curriculum leadership and management
Leadership – vision, ‘big picture’, strategies, non-technical/people skills, educational and organisational expertise, innovation/change
Development of ‘phronesis’ (practical wisdom) in self and others
Management – technical competencies and know how, operationalising vision/strategy, stability, standards, processes, procedures
![Page 16: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Leadership and followership “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a
follower” (Steve Jobs)
No-one leads all the time Followers are very rarely passive, especially professionals. Kelley (1992) suggests four roles:– Passive followership– Active followership– ‘Little l’ leadership (leading in small ways, at all levels) – ‘Big L’ leadership

Issues and challenges• Constant changes in education and health
services • Working at the interface of health and
education• Accreditation, professional standards, quality
assurance, clinical governance• Structures, systems and funding often
misaligned to curriculum innovation
![Page 31: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Strategies and solutions• Change is the only constant – leaders need to be
comfortable with managing and leading change • Need for expertise in health and education
systems – funding, structures, cultures• Understand and work within quality systems• Design agile, flexible curricula, in line with
educational best practice and society’s needs
![Page 32: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Why people resist change1. Parochial self-interest2. Misunderstanding3. Low tolerance of change4. Different assessments of the situation

Leaders as change agentsBennis (1984) identifies 4 competencies of leadership:
• Management of attention (ability to communicate clear objectives and direction)
• Management of meaning (creating and communicating meaning so that it is understood and people’s awareness is raised)
• Trust (the ability to be consistent and clear in complex circumstances so that leaders are seen as dependable)
• Self-awareness and the ability to work with one’s strengths and weaknesses
![Page 35: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Crises of followership
• Over-managing and bureaucracy• A belief that only senior managers know best• Isolating mavericks• A belief that only a selected few factors in the
external environment need to be addressed (missing complexity)
Brown and Weiner (1984)
![Page 36: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Issues and challenges• Siloed working (professions, specialities,
teams, organisations, gender)• Involves working with professionals, patients
and students with different needs and demands
• Top level leaders sometimes out of touch with educational change and innovation
• Need to build up leadership/management capacity
![Page 37: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Strategies and solutions• Communication and networking between
groups, professions, organisations – translational (‘sense making’) role
• Work with stakeholders to meet and manage expectations and needs
• Take time to keep up to date and inform others about innovation and change
![Page 38: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Leadership Theories in practice• Great Man/Trait – personality is important• Behaviourist – styles are important• Transactional – links to reward, management• Contingency, Situational – responding flexibly • Distributive, shared – leadership at all levels• Servant, value led – leaders as stewards• Transformational - leaders as raising moral purpose• Turnaround - leaders as change agents• Collaborative – leaders as connectors• Complex adaptive – leaders as change agents• Congruent - relationships are important• Holistic / Blended – all of the above!
![Page 39: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

The servant-leader is servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead (Greenleaf, 1970)
![Page 40: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The wise leader (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 2011)
• Needs more than knowledge alone• Can practise moral discernment• Can sum up complex situations quickly and grasp key
essence of problems• Creates the context for organisational learning• Communicates effectively• Exercises political power judiciously• Fosters development of practical wisdom in others
![Page 41: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Leaders are sense makers, expected to identify and articulate emerging themes and patterns not necessarily to have to have all the answersBUT be able to ask the right questions
![Page 42: Leading through curriculum development and change Professor Judy McKimm Manchester Medical Education Conference 15 April 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568168a5550346895ddf3ea1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
In summary• Leadership needs to be evidence based, theory informed, practice
driven• Provide opportunities for active followership, “little ‘l’ leaders”,
project champions – enable people to work to their strengths• Work collaboratively – share resources, actively succession plan,
keep on top of current educational practice• Look outside medical education - make and develop
cognitive/theoretical connections • Create flexible, agile curricula, use adaptive solutions to narrow the
gap between aspiration and reality• Be willing to have fierce and hard conversations – ask ‘wicked’
questions• Find the balance between transformative change and maintaining
stability through good management

“Leadership is not an esoteric topic relevant to a select few, but a ubiquitous feature of daily life for every physician”
Gunderman, R, Leadership in healthcare, London: Springer-Verlag, 2009
