How to spot a zombie: Tackling the leadership ideas that just won’t die
11 November 2025, 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
Location: Online
Think tank: The King's Fund
This event hosted by UK think tank the King’s Fund offers a perspective on leadership that is human, realistic and evidence-based.
In the shadows of the health and care system lurk leadership ideas that refuse to die. Join us for a free, interactive session exploring these ‘zombie’ ideas from a bygone world; ideas that infect today’s workplace cultures and spoil all attempts at a better tomorrow. But spotting a ‘zombie’ idea is only half the battle, so what’s the antidote?
Drawing on content from our affordable online learning platform, ShiftWorks by The King’s Fund, we’ll offer a perspective on leadership that is more human, realistic and evidence-based. A type of leadership that lives in the everyday experience of work, of colleagues helping, supporting and developing one another.
