• Notices doctor has not turned up for shift
Examples of poor behaviour

• Keeps nurse-in-charge up to date with plans for patients
• Communicates a change in patient status to relevant inpatient team
Examples of poor behaviour

Please complete during or after the feedback session, off the shop floor.
PART 2: Review of Leadership skills:
This discussion should serve both learning and assessment purposes. The focus is on the skills and behaviours that may be observed or discussed during
interaction with other team members/patients/individuals.
1. Use the discussion to probe the trainee’s leadership; if there were any difficulties, try to understand why.
2. At the end of the discussion provide specific and meaningful feedback with the trainee’s benefit in mind and agree between you concrete actions for
improvement.
3. Then use the scales and boxes below to record their current observed performance level as a benchmark against which to measure development.
You may want to consider what drew them to that inquiry. What's the deeper purpose and desired outcome from the leadership discussion (this is using tools
from a Mini Appreciative Inquiry (https://learningfromexcellence.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/LfEQI_3_AI-v.1.2.pdf)). Consider using example questions
to aid discussion.
How did it feel to be a part of it?
What did you learn? What surprised you?
What was it about you/team that made it happen?
How did what you did affect the patient+/-family/team/project?
What were the challenges in this situation and what techniques/tools did you employ to overcome them?
What would you do differently next time?
How could we promote and share excellent practice across the team/trust/NHS?
Tips to consider:
let the interviewee tell their story.
Take notes including quotes.
Allow silences and space for thinking.
Try to maintain a positive focus and limit discussion about negative aspects. If there are negative comments about a particular thing, reframe it to
describe what excellence would look like in that area.
Please consider: acting with integrity, continuing personal development, appraisal, developing self awareness, developing different leadership styles in different situations, overcoming challenges.
Rating:
