BackgroundLeadership and teamwork skills are essential components of medical education. Simulation via Instant Messaging-Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) is an innovative simulation-based learning tool mainly delivered by medical students and junior doctors. This study aimed to investigate the effect of SIMBA on leadership and teamwork skills of medical students and junior doctors during COVID-19.MethodsAll medical students and junior doctors involved in the delivery of SIMBA were invited to complete the Leadership Trait Questionnaire (LTQ) and Teamwork Skills Questionnaire (TSQ) assessing their views pre-SIMBA and post-SIMBA involvement. The changes in scores were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Open-ended questions were reviewed in an inductive thematic analysis.ResultsA total of 33 SIMBA team members completed both questionnaires. There was improvement in all traits measured in the LTQ and TSQ, significant in 9/14 LTQ traits, and all 6 TSQ traits (p<0.05). ‘Decision making’ had the highest improvement (p<0.0001). Response to open-ended questions reported positive effects on personal development, medical professionalism, communication skills and medical/clinical knowledge.ConclusionsSIMBA is an effective model to inculcate leadership and teamwork skills among medical students and junior doctors. Prospective studies are underway to assess long-term impact.

“…S/he is charming, inspirational, compassionate and intellectually curious (Bass, 1985). Four major conceptual dimensions associated with such leaders are inspirational motivation; idealised influence; individualised consideration; and intellectual stimulation-the four I's (Ihsani et al, 2020;Northouse, 2016). According to Squires (2001, p. 4) and Sandrome (as cited in Kayiwa, 2011, p. 10) the most important purpose of both the manager and the organisation should be to train and develop each individual; such that s/he may complete even the most challenging job to the best of his/her abilities.…”

This study sought to assess the Management Development Training (MDT) needs of public Senior High Schools (SHSs) heads in the Central Region of Ghana. The study took place in three districts of Ghana’s Central Region: Effutu Municipality, Awutu-Senya West, and Gomoa East. Mixed methods approach (MMA) based on explanatory sequential mixed methods design was adopted for the study. Primary data was collected through structured questionnaire distributed to 280 public SHS teachers using a simple random sampling technique. Also, semi-structured interview schedule was used to gather primary data from seven school heads and three district training officers (DTOs) using purposive and census sampling techniques respectively. Document analysis was used to access relevant secondary data. SPSS (24.0) was used in the data analysis process. Demographic features were described using descriptive statistics. Data obtained through interviews and questionnaires were analysed by identifying patterns and themes from participants’ responses. The findings indicated that SHS heads needed MDT in ICT, financial management, academic management, and HRM to efficiently and effectively run schools and influence school heads performance. The study concluded that MDT needs assessment have positive impact on school heads. The study recommends detailed needs assessment should be conducted before any training

“…The multi-faceted and multidisciplinary research development of transformational leadership gives a definition which best matches this research. Within the framework of this study, transformational leadership is defined as a process whereby a person engages with others and creates a connection that raises the level of motivation and morality in both leaders and their followers (Northouse, 2013).…”

“…However, this separation (in-group and out-group) is likely to operate as an unintentionally divisive tool between active and passive followers among the library staff. Everyone who has ever worked in an organisation has felt the presence of in-groups and/or out-groups (Northouse, 2013). The leader is the one who will establish a special relationship with all his employees and not with a proportion of them (Graen and Uhl Bien, 1991).…”

Purpose – This paper aims to examine the Self-Other Agreement between leaders and employees in the sector of Libraries and Information Services (LIS) to construct a sustainable and strategic communicational process among library directors and staff. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 135 leaders-employees of 17 organisations of LIS in more than five countries answered on a quantitative methodological research instrument in a multiplicity of variables. Statistical analysis of independent samples t-test was used to testify our research hypotheses. Findings – Results indicated that there is a difference in means between the two independent samples (leaders-employees). There are library leaders who rate themselves quite high, and there are employees who rate their leaders with lower evaluations. Research limitations/implications – This research extends and improves the matter of Self-Other Agreement in the sector of LIS through the collection of data that indicated a possible gap of communication and trustworthiness between leaders and employees. Practical implications – Regardless of the difference or the consensus of ratings among leaders and employees, the results of this research could be served as a stimulus plus as a starting point for library leaders by correcting or developing relations of communication and trustworthiness between them and their followers. Originality/value – Self-Other Agreement is one of the major factors that positively or negatively affect the overall operation of the organization in the way a leader could perceive the additional feedback. In the sector of LIS, the study of Self-Other Agreement is a rich and unexplored research area which deserves further analysis.
