Learning outcome: 1 Understanding partnership working with other agencies and professionals
Assessment criteria: 1.5 Explain how systems leadership can help achieve better outcomes for individuals
- Systems leadership is a collaborative form of leadership, drawing on the skills of many individuals and organisations
- It is used in situations where leadership is required across many parties and so no single individual has authority over the others
- This helps to achieve better outcomes for individuals because:
- All parties can pool their resources
- Everyone can benefit from the skills, knowledge and experience of everyone else
- A person-centred approach must be used, with individuals and their families being equal partners in the care planning and delivery process and being able to ensure that their unique needs, wishes and preferences are met
- Promotes equality and diversity
