Sometimes leaders can be the new support worker you’ve just employed and who
blossoms into a natural, emotionally intelligent, conscientious role model. It’s a case of
recognising this and harnessing their abilities, enabling them through good learning and
education to become skilled and effective practitioners who then naturally support the
culture of your organisation and influence care delivery in positive, life changing ways.”
Raymond J Corry, Head of Learning and Development, Creative Support Ltd

“In the interview with new staff, we explain about our ethos at the home and that we
expect our residents to receive a high standard of care. We inform them that standards
are monitored on a daily basis by various people working in the home i.e. Care
supervisors, managers etc.”
Rebecca Elford, Nominated Individual, The Old Vicarage Residential Care Home

“Strong leaders had a pivotal role in high-performing services. This was seen at registered manager and provider level, where strong vision and values were communicated to all staff, encouraging a culture of openness and transparency. Positive and supportive cultures are characterised by staff who were well-trained, caring, skilled, dedicated, enthusiastic and focused on positive outcomes for people.”

“Poor leadership can result in staff not being adequately supervised and people not
being taken seriously if they raise a concern.”

“Once someone’s recruited we take the time to find out what they are good at and what they enjoy. Then we work to nurture this. Staff have the confidence and ‘permission’ to think autonomously and bounce ideas around. One of the ways I support this is delegation. I think if I can delegate and share my role I empower staff and they can see the service growing. Your culture has to be a team thing, not a manager thing.” Sandra Anderson, Registered Manager, The Millings
“Good and outstanding can only be achieved when the entire organisation is on board and where the organisational values reflect the KLOE’s at the heart of all we do.” Cressida Rapela, Regional Operations Director, Welmede Housing Association

People Performance Management Toolkit The ability to manage your people is extremely important. How you manage them has a huge
impact on the quality of care you provide.
We've produced a People Performance Management Toolkit with NHS Employers to help you
to manage their performance. It contains useful scenarios, like what to do if someone’s
performance is slipping or if they're on extended sick leave.
The People Performance Management Toolkit is for anyone with management responsibility
and is intended for all organisations in both social care and health.
It aims to give managers confidence when dealing with some of the key challenges surrounding
managing performance.
The toolkit is split into seven sections, so it's easy to find the part you need.
People performance management
Where should I start?
Reviewing employee performance
Managing different types of performance
Conversations about performance
Scenarios
Help in a hurry
This practical tool demonstrates how applying a range of different skills and behaviours during
the management process can help you maintain a motivated team.
The toolkit doesn't replace organisational policies and procedures where they exist and should
be used as an additional resource.

Effective supervision guide Effective supervision is important to all, whether a new care worker or the CEO of a multi-site
national care organisation. Ineffective supervision can reduce productivity, increase
absenteeism, create or prolong workplace conflict, damage the culture and – for adult social
care employers - impact the quality of care being delivered.
Supervision involves making the time and developing the practical structure to give support to
co-workers. This is done using various approaches during formal and informal supervision and
appraisal.
The CQC expects that supervision is part of the development of those providing care and
support. People needing care and support often say that services are only as good as the
person delivering them. Any inability of workers to check understanding, seek support and
assistance can be frustrating, damaging to confidence and potentially dangerous.
Effective supervision benefits the worker, their managers, their organisation and crucially, the
people being supported.
We have developed guide which covers all you need to know about workplace supervision
such as:
understanding supervision
what is supervision / why is supervision important?
the supervisor
the role of the supervisor and what is expected
providing supervision
scheduling / timing
informal supervision and support
reflective practice in supervision
appraisal

The Effective supervision guide is available from our bookshop for £20 (or £15 for our
Registered Manager Members). Visit our bookshop today to get your copy.

Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More Than IQ Daniel Goleman Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace.

Failure to Communicate: How Conversations Go Wrong and what You Can Do to Right them Your stomach's churning; you're hyperventilating - you're in a badly deteriorating conversation at work. Such exchanges, which run the gamut from firing subordinates to parrying verbal attacks from colleagues, are so loaded with anger, confusion, and fear that most people handle them poorly: they avoid them, clamp down, or give in. But dodging issues, appeasing difficult people, and mishandling tough encounters all carry a high price for managers and companies - in the form of damaged relationships, ruined careers, and intensified problems. In Failure to Communicate, Holly Weeks shows how to master the combat mentality, emotional maelstrom, and confusion that poison difficult conversations. Available here.
