Excellence in leadership is defined as displaying a leadership approach that creates valuable and positive change within employees and the organisation as a whole.
An excellent leader is one who embodies our mission and values, who creates a vision for the organisation and then inspires staff to achieve that vision by being a role model, motivating and encouraging employees while challenging them to take greater ownership for their work. A great leader will understand the strengths of their colleagues so they can align them with the activities and tasks which optimise their performance for the greater good of the organisation.
So what are some typical signs of an excellent leader?
Excellent leaders are generally energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate. Not only are these leaders concerned and involved in the process; they are also focused on helping every member of the group succeed as well.
Groups led by this type of leader tend to be both successful and loyal. They give a lot to the team and care deeply about the group’s ability to accomplish its goals. Turnover tends to be quite low as leaders are able to inspire a great deal of commitment in their followers.
Note: An employee does not have to be in a management role to display Excellence in Leadership. It can be an employee who displayed such qualities in leading out on a project or motivating staff in a positive way to influence change.

ABOUT US
The Staff Awards Scheme is one of the key priorities of Bon Secours Health System for 2022 and is an essential component of the strategic development of the group.
As a key part of our Staff Engagement and Recognition strategy, the Staff Recognition and Awards Ceremony provides an opportunity to celebrate and ‘showcase’ the great work being done by our ‘Exceptional People’ through individuals and teams across all hospitals and sites of the Bon Secours Health System. This initiative is very much aligned to our People Strategy and our 2025 Plan, whereby ‘Exceptional People’ are placed at the heart of our strategy, as we continue to strengthen our position as an Employer of Choice.
‘Exceptional Care’ is delivered through ‘Exceptional People’ and ultimately our staff define our organisation and are key to its enduring success. This Ceremony provides us with an ideal opportunity to recognise this contribution and celebrate the excellent work being done by staff and consultants.
The awards will be open to staff and Consultants, in all sites across the Group and will be supported by a clear and transparent process, which will be independently judged. The staff recognition awards will culminate in an Awards Ceremony, which after a delay due to the pandemic, will be much appreciated and anticipated across the group.
The Bon Secours Health System Staff Recognition Awards Ceremony will be held on Friday 7th October 2022.
The evening starts at 6:00pm with a drinks reception and finishes at 12:30am. Don’t forget to bring those dancing shoes. Dress for the event is ‘smart’ (lounge suits – not black tie) and cocktail wear.
The Awards Dinner provides the perfect opportunity to informally meet and network with colleagues driving improvements in patient safety, patient care and service quality across Bon Secours Health System and have a good night out!
Discounted rooms will be available for those staff who want to stay over at Killashee Hotel.
