14. What difference has the programme made?

15. 'The Aspiring Nurse Director Programme has equipped me to challenge things in the NHS that no longer work. I've realised that you can't expect to do the same thing and get a different outcome! The multi-professional approach to leadership development has been refreshing, especially with the programme emphasis on improving patient care.’
'I have been able to apply the principles learned on the Aspiring Nurse Director Programme and apply these to making organisational changes which have improved services for patients.'
'For me, the Care to Lead Aspiring Nurse Director Programme has been about what I can take back to my organisation that makes a difference not only to myself and my team, but most importantly to inform and improve patient care.'
‘As a newly appointed Nurse Director, the programme has given me a renewed focus on the patient experience in my organisation, especially when influencing board decisions that impact on patient care.'

16. ‘As a newly appointed Nurse Director, the programme has given me a renewed focus on the patient experience in my organisation, especially when influencing board decisions that impact on patient care.'
‘The Action Learning sets enabled the group to share and work through their service development experiences, develop deeper understanding of emerging issues and become more effective as individuals and team members. They were both challenging and supportive with positive learning outcomes.’
'I'm finding that when I'm delivering in the workplace, I can hear the Care to Lead AND programme coming out of my mouth There are things that I've taken and internalised from the programme that have helped me deal with complex situations within my organisation.'
‘I think we have all come through a very meaningful learning journey and from a career perspective, I am at a point where I have never been before. My development over the past couple of years has enabled me to achieve my professional ambition to be a Nurse Director and if this is as good as it gets, then I am very content.’

19. As we, the leaders, deal with tomorrow, our task is not to try to make perfect plans. Our task is to create organizations that are sufficiently flexible and versatile that they can take our imperfect plans and make them work in execution. That is the essential character of the learning organization
(Harper and Sullivan, 1996)
