The Leading an Empowered Organization (LEO) program positively impacts leadership behavior in NHS managers. Follow-up activities are crucial for sustaining the learning gained from this leadership development course.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Leadership Development
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • The Leading an Empowered Organization (LEO) is a widely adopted 3-day course for NHS front-line managers.
  • Over 40,000 managers, including district nurses, have participated in the LEO program.
  • Evidence on LEO's impact and the necessity of follow-up support requires systematic review.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and assess published literature on the LEO program.
  • To critically evaluate evidence on LEO's impact on leadership behavior.
  • To appraise evidence supporting follow-up activities for sustained learning.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of published literature concerning the LEO program.
  • Inclusion of research (n=6), discussion (n=2), and descriptive papers (n=4) due to limited research.
