(Formerly “Healthcare Leadership: Engaging Physicians and Other Healthcare Professionals for Great Performance”)
Observations and strategies from the board room to the exam room…and everywhere in between
In healthcare, physicians and managers work in a hierarchical and siloed environment defined by educational qualifications and experience and operating on the basis of formal positional power, authority relationships and personality. In this environment, teaching, coaching and using well proven tools of behavioral and managerial communication can produce profound organizational success. If these activities are particularly effective, even greater self-understanding, self-mastery, engagement and satisfaction are produced.
Among the tools to be described and supplied in this course, the Enneagram is a highly useful construct to bridge the gaps that exist between business intentions and results. It has been used in a variety of business and non-business applications with striking results by releasing creative energy, enabling highly productive collaborations, and producing high performance teams. These features are highly desirable as well as well-suited to the healthcare environment with autonomous high status physicians needing to work together with all the other supporting staff towards excellent patient care and desired outcome targets.
