“Someone once said – ‘To lead with civility means you’ve decided as a leader – it’s better to steer away from potential chaos and grow through simplicity by treating those you lead with respect, trust, honesty, effective communication, fairness, support, flexibility, resilience, a positive temperament, and ongoing development and encouragement.’ I strive to do this on a daily basis.”
Following careful consideration by the panel of judges ‘Politician of the Year’ 2022 was awarded jointly to Mr Swann and Labour MP Mr Bryant.
The judging panel includes people from a wide range of disciplines, including the political and media spheres.
Mr Swann added : “I accept this award on behalf of all the health and social care workers in Northern Ireland. It is my pleasure to serve them.”
