Developing learning health
systems in the UK:
Priorities for action

"Importantly, many of the issues discussed above highlight how successful learning communities – and successful LHSs – require effective leadership. In particular, effective leadership is a critical facilitator for:

• aligning the activities of the LHS with wider operational and strategic priorities
• securing resources and organisational support
• gaining the buy-in of staff and teams across an organisation
• creating a healthy improvement culture.144

In this context, effective leadership includes behaviours such as being ‘problem framers’ rather than ‘problem solvers’, listening and observing, and stimulating reflection and critical thinking within teams.145 (While a detailed exploration of leadership is beyond the scope of this report, it is worth emphasising that this includes clinical leadership, which can have a significant impact on organisational performance.146)" pp.49-50.
