\"\"Thank you for everyone’ encouragement with regards to my original post!<\/strong>\u00a0 I am truly happy to know that my thoughts were thought-provoking and resonated with people.\u00a0 I also hope that the video was a good reminder for all of us, as TSL, to “stay above the line”.\u00a0 It is more difficult in practice than in theory.\u00a0 As mentioned in the video, our brains are programmed to perceive “threat”, especially in this volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambitious (VUCA) world (Ungerer, Ungerer, & Herholdt, 2016).\u00a0 We will need to intentionally take ourselves to be “above the line” if we want to be effective in leading others.<\/p>\n

As I read some of the responses to my original post, I would like to emphasize how “creating a culture of learning is the key” in terms of TSL in health care.\u00a0 I completely agree with Pierre’s response<\/a>, where burnt-out staff members are not likely to benefit from additional learning.\u00a0 When health care workers are working through overtime and missed meal breaks, how do we expect them to take on even more learning?\u00a0 My point is the culture of learning will need to be implemented throughout the entire organization and I would even boldly say it should start at the top, senior leadership level.\u00a0 For example, I recently participated in a leadership pilot workshop that is currently offered at my workplace.\u00a0 The workshop was focused on “creating a curious mindset”, which is part of a larger change management strategy.\u00a0 At the end of the workshop, there was a list of suggested actions or activities for us to implement back at our offices and departments.\u00a0 As I am striving to be a TSL, I am engaged and have the best intentions to implement these actions and activities\u00a0back at my office.\u00a0 However, as soon as I return back to the office, I was immediately thrown back to the reality of the work that was waiting for me.\u00a0 There was simply no time for me to consider how to best implement my learning at my workplace. Soon the desire went away as well.<\/p>\n

In the same way, I can see many of the senior leadership team also have the best of intentions to engage staff members and to encourage their growth.\u00a0 \u00a0In fact, the “Lean strategy” as mentioned in Wafa’s response<\/a> was implemented and taught to many of the managers at the organization that I work for.\u00a0 However, with the mandates of higher levels of government and ministry, there is no\u00a0time to consider anything else.\u00a0 When I mention “creating a culture of learning”, it does not mean delivering some courses for others to acquire more knowledge, I am referring to learning to make changes that would lead to the transformation of the organization. In my example above, it was great that I had the opportunity to attend a workshop, but I had no time to further implement what I have learned.\u00a0 What if my manager learned to recognize the importance of my learning and allow me to prioritize my tasks so I have more time to implement what I have learned instead?\u00a0 What if the CEO of my organization learned to value learning as a priority and decide to cut back certain less important projects to create more time for Directors and Managers to mentor other potential leaders?\u00a0 The TSL creates a culture of learning starts by listening to the needs of others, as mentioned in Kamal’s response<\/a>, and creating an environment that allows change to take place.<\/p>\n
