Format: Lecture

Stream: Building capability and leadership

In this session, Professor Jason Leitch, Scottish Government’s National Clinical Director, will be reflecting on the covid-19 pandemic and his learning from the past 12 months about leading in a crisis situation.

You will hear insights from his role in generating a sense of shared purpose and how this was so vital in helping the people of Scotland navigate the complexity of the pandemic; together with his experience of leading at a national, system and at a team level. Often all at once!

Professor Leitch’s lessons are transferrable to us all in our day to day work lives – not just in the midst of covid-19. Leading in a crisis situation is something that we can all find ourselves doing at any point without any warning, and this session will not only leave you with leadership insights but also take home messages you could apply in your own work.
