This episode focuses on leadership skills and style - in particular the crucial role of feedback which can sometimes be seen as mainly about staff performance and a less comfortable or even fear-inducing aspect of any kind of leadership or supervisory role.
Our guests today are keen to discuss and demonstrate how feedback is a much broader part of developing your own leadership style and something that can help build trust, transparency and supportive culture in your team or particular context.
They share examples from their own experience to help practitioners, supervisors and managers at all stages think about developing their own leadership skills and style.
This epsisode is part of our
leadership knowledge and practice hub on CC Inform Children which has been produced with
Frontline, that charity that is perhaps most known for its fast-track local-authority based training programme for new child protection social workers, but also runs leadership development programmes for managers and those aspiring to be managers in children’s services.
The speakers are:
Anjuli Obaro, curriculum lead at Frontline
Delin Dixon, independent social worker, experienced foster carer, consultant and trainer
Yinka Olaniran, service manager for a local authority independent reviewing and child protection conference service, and facilitator
