Last week I participated in a two-day session with other leaders at Bethany exploring two domains of the LEADS Canada framework for leadership development. We delved into “Achieving Results” and “Developing Coalitions”. I am encouraged by the incredible passion many of our leaders have for their work. They care deeply about creating a home where our residents will thrive and their families feel supported, along what can be a difficult journey. I know this passion is shared by many people at all levels of the organization, for I see it when I encounter you while visiting a unit, or hear of it from a colleague.
It is my hope that you are channeling your passion into daily care, and also into how you imagine your daily routines might be. What could you do differently to create a better resident experience? Please share that with your leader and your team. Your ideas and insights are valuable. For no one in our community, whether they are a formal leader or an informal leader (that’s everyone), can do it alone. When we work together our care can be so much more meaningful for everyone involved. Our shared expertise and partnerships with other organizations, when grounded in our mission, are invaluable. Thank you for being a part of this.
Blessings,
