Everyone has an opportunity and professional duty to lead, regardless of title, position, training or background. Leadership is also multi-directional — by leading horizontally with coworkers, managing up to supervisors and the typical responsibility of leading direct and indirect reports. Motivating and appropriately directing others is crucial in complicated medical practice environments. Professionalism, ethics and the appropriate management of relationships are important to facilitate the highest levels of operational efficiency and the best patient care. This session will explore healthcare leadership strategies in the context of interpersonal professionalism and ethical business practices. Various real-life examples of common medical practice challenges will be discussed. Anonymous audience polling and open group discussion will be utilized to promote best practices for 360-degree leadership.
