Healthcare is plagued by burnout, fatigue and steady turnover. Leadership challenges include increased demands for rapid change while juggling the day-to-day responsibilities. New and seasoned leaders alike often find themselves isolated and challenged to meet expectations. We need leaders with the skill and confidence to lead teams, engage in effective communication, empower others and foster trust and commitment to obtain improved team and organizational outcomes. Unfortunately, systems put more energy in reacting to crisis than preparing leaders to be successful. Often we fail to create a culture that fosters leadership development, innovation, curiosity and resilience to ensure leaders have the skills and insights to develop others while meeting organizational goals. We present a leadership team development project that yielded increases in measures of trust (23%), healthy conflict (15%), commitment (16%) and accountability (17%) in eight months, as well as increased retention and trust, improved communication, and empowered and engaged team members. Participants will understand the “why” and “how” of leadership training; creating a leadership development plan; and the importance of building teams with a shared clear and common vision and purpose.
Learning Objectives:
Discover the “why” and “how” of leadership training
