As an NHS team leader, how will you effectively lead your team during times of change?

"Throughout my career, I have found that the most important thing about leading a team and myself during change is being educated on why the change is important. As an NHS team leader, I will always communicate the change to staff clearly and explain why we need to make it. I would always listen to my team's concerns before we begin making the change and check in with them frequently during the implementation to see how things are going. Once I know what the concerns are regarding the changes, I brainstorm with the staff on how to improve the changes."

To best answer a question regarding managing change during your interview, draw from your experience in managing change. This could be anything from your facility being acquired or merging with another, leadership changes, or even technical changes. The important things to discuss are the tactics you use to manage change and how these will benefit your entire team if you were fortunate enough to join the NHS.
