Leadership Program for Long‐Term Care
What is transformational leadership?Why is it important?

Consider these facts…
• Number of older adults in Ontario will double from 1.9 Million today to 4.1 Million by 2036
• Average life span is expected to increase from 81 today to 87 by 2036
But no plans to add new LTC beds into the system
• Complexity of care in LTC is increasing and will continue to increase:o 62% have dementiao Those with dual diagnosis increasing at 11% per year o 93% have 2 or more chronic diseases o 22‐24% increase in number of residents needing help with ADLs 2006‐
2014
But funding is not keeping pace
WWW.THE-RIA.CA/LRI
11/7/201511/7/2015
Therefore….
• We will need to be innovative in how LTC works into the future
• LTC will be transformed into something quite different than what it is today
LTC transformation will require transformational leadership

Consider these facts…
• 6.6 working adults per senior in 1971• 4.2 in 2012• 2.3 in 2036 • Extreme shortages of PSWs are predicted
There will be increasingly fierce competition for workers for LTC
WWW.THE-RIA.CA/LRI
11/7/201511/7/2015
Therefore….
• We will need to develop stronger and better leadership within the system to attract workers to LTC
• We will need to attract and recruit good leaders within this shrinking pool of workers
LTC transformation will require transformational leaders

Transformational Leadership
Four Main Components1. Idealized influence or charismaCharismatic leaders behave in admirable ways that causes followers to identify with the leader. They display convictions, take a stand, appeal to followers on an emotional level because the leader has a clear set of values and shows them in their actions. They are a role model for their followers. Genuine trust is built between these leaders and their followers and built on a moral and ethical foundation.
2. Inspirational motivationThe leader articulates a vision that is appealing, compelling, persuasive, and inspiring to followers.

Transformational Leadership
Four Main Components3. Intellectual stimulationThe leader challenges assumption, takes risks and solicits followers’ ideas. These leaders stimulate and encourage creativity in their followers. The leader’s vision provides a guiding framework that allows followers to connect with the leader, organization, each other and the goal(s). The leader works to remove barriers to allow freedom for the followers to creatively achieve the goal.
4. Individualize consideration or individualized attention.The leader attends to each followers’ needs, acts as a mentor or coach and listens to the follower’s concerns and needs. The leader also respects and celebrates the individual’s contribution to the team. Diversity of the team, give the team its strength. This helps to educate the next generation of leaders and individually allow for achievement of self-actualization, self-fulfilment and self-worth. It works to encourage followers to further achieve and grow.

• “I have become a more open leader, one who is willing to share a part of myself with others. I use passion when discussing things such as visions in the workplace. I am more apt to model the behaviour I want to see in team members...I have become a more self‐assured, happier leader.”
“Attitude” Impact: Statements from Graduates

• “What this course has shown me is I was missing some great opportunities! In particular, the concept of acting as a servant leader and a transformational leader really filled in some gaps in my understanding and assumptions. When I think about my past supervisors and role models, these concepts were quite different but match my own style much better, and allow me to be much more effective.”
“Knowledge” Impact: Statements from Graduates

• “I have learnt to be confident with conflict resolution with families, and staff. My communication skills have improved and I’m using knowledge and tools learnt from this course...From the emotional intelligence exercise I have learned to control my emotions when dealing with extremely volatile situations. This would not have been possible without this course.”

The leadership course taught him many things, Vernon says, but chief among them is the realization that rushing from task to task can detract from opportunities to create long‐lasting impact.“Before the program, it was about how many tasks or things can I get to from day to day to day, and not really thinking ‘all right, before I go there, what do I want to accomplish?”“The key thing is serving,” Vernon says. “I truly know what that means now. It’s not only serving the environmental staff but to serve our clients – it could be staff member, it could be resident or it could be simply someone off the street coming through our doors.”When all team members take ownership of those interactions and pride in that service, then the organization as a whole grows stronger and leaves a lasting impact on the community, he says. ‐ Graduate 2014

The impact she felt as a result of her time in the program resonates throughout the team she supports today, and she firmly believes it’s helping to provide a better dining experience for the residents and clients she serves. “Within my team in Dietary Services, everybody has a
leadership role but it’s specific to who they are and what they do,” she says. The leadership program helped her to see the strength
and leadership capabilities each team member carries within and build upon those traits to make a stronger team as a whole. The program, she says, “opened up my mind to investing
in the strength of my team. Nowadays, all you hear on the news is negativity. I look more to the positivity, looking at people’s strengths and how to take advantage of those and to work with those.”Too many organizations invest energies focused on
weakness and deficit, she says, yet if leaders could concentrate on building upon what’s working well, success will be easier to find.

The Great White North
• A small aircraft with 6 passengers on board crashed in the Canadian Great White North. The passengers survived the ordeal but the aircraft was rendered inoperable and the radio transmitter destroyed. The nearest town is 200km away. It’s summertime.
• Imagine yourselves as the passengers.
• The decision has been made that some people will stay behind with the aircraft. A small “rescue” team will venture out with the goal to reach the nearest town to get help. Some of you are worried and not happy about the decision, but agree to support it. The following is a list of articles on board that could aid your survival. You must decide what articles will stay at the crash site and what articles will go with the rescue team.
• As you’re deciding, experiment with “wearing 6 different hats” and thinking from the hat’s viewpoint.
