How does LCIC Training help managers?

Leading Change Improving Care (LCIC) is a national development programme for new and
experienced managers of adult social care services.

The programme is delivered through five interactive modules covering the objectives below:

  • leading and managing the process of change within your team and organisation
  • facilitating change sensitively and building resilience for change
  • successful leadership skills and behaviours
  • managing hard to reach colleagues and those resistant to change to improve the
    performance of teams
  • coaching and development
  • improving personal effectiveness and time management

The learning programme is grounded in the reality of social care delivery and takes a practical look at how to influence and implement the necessary changes to meet current and future challenges and service needs in health and social care.

It explores how to lead and manage change within teams and organisations and provides tools and techniques to drive change and ultimately improve the quality of care delivered.

LCIC enables participants to consider their own leadership styles. It focuses on the impact these have on themselves and their team, how to become a more effective leader and how to influence and motivate teams.

There is a strong emphasis on mentoring and coaching and how to identify and nurture skills in other people to develop high performing teams and grow future talent. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to work with and share issues and ideas with peers within the sector.
