Module 6 – Strategic doing

Great leaders know how to plan their actions and action their plans. They’re more relaxed and get more done with less effort. They are clear on their vision, mission, values and purpose. They understand the unique demands and expectations in contemporary aged care. They set goals and measure progress and make sure they take into account the competing priorities of clinical, residential and commercial imperatives. They understand the complex mix of compliance issues that govern their work.

They also know the human factors that contribute to the ongoing success and sustainability of any project or team. Smart leaders shift from outdated strategic planning to more effective strategic doing. In this module, you’ll discover the only two problems you need to solve for a more balanced and productive life.

You will walk away with practical tips and tools about how to:

  • align your vision and values with valid actions
  • create an agile and accountable strategic doing cycle
  • banish overwhelm and prioritise like a pro
  • tame your calendar and leverage your time
  • feel good about what you’re not doing
  • understand and make better use of KPIs and OKRs
  • create sustainable achievement habits and rituals
  • break the analysis paralysis cycle and foster a positive ‘day one’ mindset
  • maximise ROI for your precious time and energy.

 

Who should attend?

The Australian Aged Care Leadership Capability Framework identifies three broad levels of leadership (see below). This leadership accelerator program is specifically designed to meet the needs of current and aspiring leaders in levels three and two. Level one leaders may also find the series a valuable refresher.

Level 3

Often referred to as ‘front line’ or ‘first line’ managers, level 3 leaders are likely to be responsible for the activities of a team on a part-time or full-time basis. In an Aged Care context, depending on the size of the organisation and the services provided, these people may often be care coordinators, service coordinators, registered nurses or team managers.

Level 2

As mid-level leaders or middle management, level 2 leaders are commonly responsible for multiple teams or an entire service/function. According to organisational size and function, these leaders are likely to occupy positions as director of nursing, care manager, facility manager, hotel services manager, quality manager, human resources manager and so on.

Level 1

Level 1 leaders are those with strategic and cultural responsibility for an entire organisation or division. Level 1 leaders will often play a role in influencing community and/or stakeholders beyond their organisation. In small to medium-sized organisations this is likely to be the CEO. In medium to large-sized organisations level 1 leaders may include general/executive/senior managers and department heads.
