Abstract

Introduction: The My Home Life Leadership Support Programme (MHL LSP) is an innovative approach focusing on leadership support and development. The Programme’s emphasis is on the importance of relationships with those who live, work and visit care homes. Using an appreciative inquiry approach, the Programme enables participants to explore what is possible within their workplace. Participants are supported and empowered to create a positive culture of mutually respectful relationships between people that use services, their families, staff, and between services and the wider community.

Aims & Objectives: To examine the impact of the MHL LSP from the perspective of participants across three countries in the United Kingdom

Methods: Quantitative findings from two pre- and post-questionnaires from 298 participants who completed the program in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The two questionnaires were the Assessment of Workplace Schedule (AWES) and the Perceptions of Workplace Change Schedule (POWCS), (Nolan et al., 1998)

Outcomes: The results provide robust evidence of the overall positive impact of the MHL LSP across the three participating countries with statistically significant changes across time points. Participants report significant change within their care homes including, recognition and regard for them and their staff, workload, quality of care, and working relationships. Following this study further work has commenced to develop and test a new leadership inventory instrument using additional qualitative data.

Conclusion: MHL LSP is an innovative approach to leadership development that can deliver positive change in both managers' leadership skills and their perceptions of the impact of this on staff, relatives, and residents.
