NORTHERN SYDNEY LOCAL HEALTH DISTRICT LEADERSHIP CHARTER
The Leadership Charter outlines the qualities that make a good leader at NSLHD. We have taken some time to reflect on what our best leaders bring to our workplace and how they interact with patients/consumers and staff. We have incorporated this into a document that outlines our ambition for our leaders, current and emerging across our organisation.
The people that lead in our organisation champion our person-centred purpose, to enable others to realise their potential, and to cultivate a diverse, creative, safe, adaptive and values-based culture. Our leaders are inclusive, authentic, resilient, brave, accountable and innovative. They care, and bring about sustainable change that makes a positive difference for our patients/consumers, carers, and community, as well as our employees and organisation. Leadership at NSLHD underpins the implementation of our strategic plan, in particular in achieving an Engaged and EmpoweredWorkforce . Therefore our Leadership Charter is our statement of how we intend to do this. The Leadership Charter guides us in achieving our expected Leadership outcomes: • Our Leaders effectively change our organisation, to deliver improvements and innovation to our patients/consumers and their families/carers, • Our Leaders role- model our Values, and establish teams that demonstrate our Values with colleagues, patients/consumers and families/carers, • We develop our future leaders. The Leadership Charter has been significantly informed by feedback from our workforce. In June 2016 the NSLHD embarked on a project to renew our focus on our CORE Values and Behaviours for the benefit of our patients/consumers, families/carers, and our staff. Consultation with 400 staff, volunteers, patients and consumers took place across the district. The invaluable feedback received informed what it means to be a leader at NSLHD and how leaders enact the CORE values at NSLHD, which is included in the Charter. In 2019 participants at the inaugural Leadership Advisory Board meeting, the workshopped definitions of leadership and what leaders at NSLHD do. This has also been incorporated into the Leadership Charter. We hope this Leadership Charter highlights our expectations and responsibilities as leaders and helps focus our shared efforts as we strive every day to be the leaders our staff, patients and community deserve.
