John’s insights into success will be of value, not just to those in the health, social care, and justice sectors, but to everyone who strives to be an effective leader in their profession and in their community. ------------- John’s insights included: Whatever your career, be open to opportunities, especially when they allow you to pursue your interests. All practices, regardless of profession or business, should be evidence-based. Domestic violence is widespread and we need to be aware, not just of the scale and scope of the problem, but how it impacts the lives of those involved, particularly children. Research is helping agencies to better understand how to effectively intervene with all involved, including perpetrators. Agencies must have processes and systems in place to ensure relevant support for involved professionals, including opportunities for debriefing, reflection, and processing of disturbing events as well as opportunities to consider the emotional impact. Professionals should prioritize self-care and have strategies and boundaries that enable them to stay resilient. Multi-agency working should involve real integrated practice, rather than just sharing information. Teamwork is essential and leaders should encourage feedback and suggestions as to how the business could be strengthened. Authentic leaders promote a culture of empowerment within their teams, encourage transparency, are quick to own up to their own mistakes, and trust others to share with them appropriately. Mistakes are inevitable and learning from them is what matters. That requires a willingness to consider and analyze what happened and look at how similar situations might be better handled in the future. Regardless of the level of seniority, everyone needs mentors, both formal and informal to assist with problem-solving, building confidence, and personal growth. John’s advice to his younger self is so relevant. “Worry less about what other people think about you.
