Those of you great at English please help me fill in the right word?

[mosschops30]

In this sentence

Leadership plays a pivotal role in the implementation of CG. It ?????? the need to take responsibility for learning and improving and an effective leader needs to be adaptable to the team they are leading

i want something like increases but thats not the right word

TIA

emphasises, reinforces, enhances

encourages ? or is that not strong enough ?

thanks brandnew reinforces is perfect

creates? strengthens? reinforces?

oops sorry, x posts! (was thinking a while!)

I can't quite make out the sense of what you're going for - how are the leaders responsible for 'learning and improving'?

Could the second sentence run something more like
"Effective leaders need to take responsibility for learning and improving, and adapt to the needs of their team."?

I think it is an awful sentence, sorry!

I often translate similar English sentences for my colleagues, some of whom are native English speakers.

(meant the OP, not yours MrsB.)

Hows this (all credit to MrsB)

Leadership plays a pivotal role in the implementation of CG. Effective leaders need to take responsibility for learning and improving, and adapt to the needs of their team (O?Neill 2001). It is imperative that the leader can apply the sensitivity and capacity to realise differences in personality and levels of competency within staff members.

"It is imperative that the leader can apply the sensitivity and capacity to realise differences in personality and levels of competency within staff members"

is a shocker of a sentence, I'm afraid. Try:

"It is vital that the leader has the sensitivity and capacity to appreciate differences in personality and level of competence between staff members."

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean:

To work effectively, CG requires a leader who will take responsibility for learning and improving but will also adapt to the specfic team?

Mrs Badger if I post the entire essay on here maybe you could re-word it all and get rid of the 400 words I am over

dream on...

MI has a good point though - condense the whole three stentences into hers and you've saved a bunch of words already as well as being much clearer.

MI's sentence doesnt make sense when you insert clinical governance, will use yours thanks, just editing now.
