Adsidia?s goal is to make a difference to people because regardless of how good an organisation?s services and processes may be; it is their people who are the root of effectiveness and success. This is never more so than in a people-orientated sector such as healthcare.

The Leadership Qualities Framework recognises the importance of leadership at all levels of the NHS. Indeed exemplary leadership practices are the essential ingredient of excellence; creating a highly engaged staff, committed to the delivery of excellent services. Exemplary leaders provide a role model, empowering, envisioning their people, celebrating their success and encouraging innovation to ?raise the game? to new heights. It is the art of enabling people to work creatively, collaboratively and effectively to achieve goals and deliver excellence in service.

Leadership enables the transition from a disengaged to a fully engaged staff, recovering and refocusing the energy that is so easily lost to the lack of cohesiveness and indecision which emerges from confused roles, unclear goals, conflicting objectives and poor communications. All of which result in poor motivation, lost productivity and lost quality. The benefits can be seen in improved morale and commitment, enhanced team work and collaboration, creativity and innovation, quality and productivity.

Under-pinning Adsidia?s people centred programmes are the concepts of Emotional Intelligence and Servant Leadership which enable transitional leadership to be effective.

The Gallup Management Journal (?Building a Highly Engaged Workforce?) described engaged staff as follows:

"Engaged" employees are builders. They want to know the desired expectations for their role so they can meet and exceed them. They're naturally curious about their company and their place in it. They perform at consistently high levels. They want to use their talents and strengths at work every day. They work with passion, and they have a visceral connection to their company; they drive innovation and move their organization forward.
