Leading peers and staff members effectively has not been taught in medical school!
As a physician you go by what you have been taught in medical school. Most physicians apply medical school training in management position. They haven’t been formally trained or minimally trained in leadership and suddenly experience new situations where the traditional clinical leadership model doesn’t apply.
Leadership is More than Clinical Skills and Business Management Skills.
As an effective leader you need to facilitate conflicts, lead the business with a viable vision, be diplomatic, build a bridge between medical staff, administration and supporting staff, facilitate effective meetings, coach team members, control your own emotions during controversial situations, become a persuasive presenter, and be a balanced role model for everyone in the organization.
You have the opportunity to shape your organization and lead effective change where you need successful tools to make it happen.
Being in an administrative physician leadership role is different than a clinical leadership role and the results are not always quantitatively measurable.
Many physician leadership programs focus on the business side of leadership and include topics such as quality management, strategic leadership, finance etc. Our physician leadership program is complementary and unique since it focuses on the personal and the interpersonal side of leadership. It focuses on your strengths and what you bring to the table as a leader and how you can leverage your talents and skills in order to maximize your role as a leader.
