SMACC Back 3 – Simon Carley on Leadership

November 6, 2013 by Scott Weingart 2 Comments

Now I should be doing a SMACC Back on Roger Harris' talk on the Right Heart as he surely cast a gauntlet in my path, but that would probably just encourage him : ). Instead, lets talk about…

Simon Carley on Educational Leadership and Subversion

This SMACC-Back deals with Simon Carley's lecture from SMACC 2013. If you haven't seen it yet, watch now–it is incredibly good:

The line that resonated with me was,

The first principle of Leadership is Excellence. The most important thing for an educational leader is that they are clinically credible. “Those that can't do–teach,” is crap in medicine.

So utterly true!

Tangentially, one of my colleagues recommended a book to me entitled, Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter.

Wow, what a horribly misguided tome. To hear why I think this, listen to the wee.

Hi Scott, Thanks so much for the SMACC back. I’m so pleased that we found so much common ground about education, educators and leadership. Like you, I’m totally passionate about ensuring that clinical excellence remains at the forefront of education and that education is seen as an integral part of being a resuscitationist. As you may know I wear various educational hats and I can tell you now that if anyone ever, ever, ever, ever, (ever),*, asks me again to find an ‘educational’ role for a doctor who is struggling clinically I may explode….! We also need to think of our patients, We might (think anyway!!) be the best docs in the department, hospital, country, world but we all know that we cannot be there 24/7 and so by leading and educating we are remotely helping the patients in our departments when we are safely tucked up in bed or off shift. I also believe that as I get older the time will come when I might need my colleagues to treat my family, friends and even myself – so there is a bit of personal investment in there too ;-). I think your point about the book ‘multipliers’ is… Read more »
