Scenario 2.3: Staff are working hard but not collaboratively
You’ve noticed that while staff are putting in effort, they are operating in silos. There’s limited sharing of ideas, inconsistency across teams, and little cross-pollination of best practice. This is reducing collective impact.
Leadership Behaviours to Support This Challenge
| Code | Behaviour | Why It Matters |
| T4 | Create a Team | Shifts the culture from individuals to shared purpose and mutual accountability. |
| T6 | Be Wonderful to Work With | Connection, kindness, and positivity are foundations for effective collaboration. |
| C5 | Celebrate Successes | Recognising collaborative wins reinforces the value of working together. |
| L7 | Co-Create What Matters | Involving staff in shaping initiatives boosts ownership and teamwork. |
| S5 | Establish Collective Goals | Shared goals drive alignment and reduce siloed working. |
Suggested Approach
- Use INSET or team time to surface shared goals and challenges.
- Create opportunities for joint planning or paired observations.
- Highlight where collaboration has had a positive impact.
- Model collaborative behaviours in leadership and decision-making.
- Make time for social connection too as it builds trust between people, not just roles.
