staff but also neglects to share important information.

WHY YOUR SOCIAL CARE LEADERSHIP STYLE MATTERS SO MUCHDo you lead frontline care staff?

Did you know the way you do it is having a huge impact on staff retention?

Four leadership styles (using the Bonoma-Slevin leadership model)

A. CONSENSUS MANAGERseeks input from the work group

and allows the work group’s input to influence decision making.

B. CONSULTATIVE AUTOCRAT also seeks input but makes all important decisions on his or

her own.

C. AUTOCRAT does not seek any input and makes

all decisions on his or her own.

SHAREHOLDER MANAGER 14.2%

In 2,900 nursing homes the styles were:

CONSENSUS MANAGER 30.9%

CONSULTATIVE AUTOCRAT 26.5%

AUTOCRAT 28.4%

THE IMPACT ON STAFF TURNOVER CAN BE HUGE. COMPARED TO A CONSENSUS MANAGER:

1. Ask ‘What do you think we should do in this situation?'

2. Recognise that you are not always right, and acknowledge it openly

3. Listen first and resist reacting with your initial thought
