Transformational Leadership

Blog Post – Transcript – Post Chat Summary
Elaine Hunter (@ElaineAMPH) has written a great blog explaining the background to her preparation before delivering this year’s Casson keynote lecture at Conference in Glasgow (#COT13)
Tonight, we are happy to be involving our #OTalk community in reflecting on the themes of her keynote. She will be asking the participants of #Otalk:
-
what does “good leadership” in occupational therapy look like?
-
how do we build leadership (confidence) capacity and capability in occupational therapy?
-
what can social media offer leaders in occupational therapy?
Perhaps you might like to join us in reflection about our own leadership behaviours, whatever our job role involves.
- What does our work culture have to provide to facilitate our leadership development?
- Is there a common experience of OT leadership across sectors?
- Are OTs too “nice” to be effective leaders?
- How can social media help us to develop leadership behaviours?
Remember: you’re a role model and digital leader in the OT profession already, because you are reading this online!
See you there at 8-9pm GMT, using the #OTalk tag.
You can continue to add contributions by using the tag for 24 hours after the chat.
