Using creative transformational leadership in shaping our hospice's journey to excellence

Abstract

Practice development is known for fostering innovation and change in creating a culture and working environment in which excellence can flourish. Excellence in practice through practice development is dependent on consulting, engaging and encouraging team members to buy into a shared vision and values. The challenge for some teams is in eliciting and sharing the team's vision and values. Hartlepool and District Hospice in the true spirit of practice development would like to share and disseminate their starting journey in the quest for excellence by developing and applying a creative transformational leadership approach using values clarification.
