Yorkshire and Humber
GP curriculum group
Leadership skills
Welcome!
This powerpoint is long and has a lot of information, so please don’t try to read it
in one sitting
There are a number of models and frameworks that we use to explain the
concepts. Please don’t get hung up on these; they don’t need to be learned and
their purpose is just to help you understand the bigger picture.
For each of the slides, you will find the explanatory text in the notes section,
so don’t view this resource just as a slide show, because the notes are important
There are lots of ideas here that will help to develop your insight. You could read
it on your own, but this can be heavy going and it works best if you discuss the
material with your colleagues in a group where you can translate the theory
given here into practical examples of how it can be applied.
We hope that you enjoy the resource and would welcome your feedback!
