Hal Spencer discusses his development from a registrar in 2003 to becoming the chief executive in 2022 at Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
The new Chair of the Trust challenged the executive to improve the culture and ways of working that properly engaged staff on the back of a succession of poor staff survey results.
The team used the leadership into action methodology; created an internal improvement academy; engaged; listed; acted; be honest when things go wrong and developed a vibrant leadership culture.
Poor behaviour was tackled and a set of shared and owned values implemented.
Hal shares how he developed as a leader and sustains his approach.
