Leadership

You know the value true leadership offers an organization, and you've probably also seen the challenges that can be created when leadership is lacking within a hospital. It gets in the way of effective patient care. It frustrates talented staff members. And it has a negative effect on morale.

Here, we make leadership work to the benefit of everyone – our patients, our staff, our community and our facility. We develop leadership from within through formal succession planning, and then provide ongoing support once someone advances into a leadership role, including:

• Related education sessions for executives and managers
• Knowledge and confidence building
• Tools to balance the needs of the organization with the needs of each employee

Our Organizational Development Department provides courses just for new leaders, which cover the following topics:

• Communication
• Conflict management
• Interviewing skills
• Budget creation and monitoring
• Strategies for balancing work and life
• Working with different generations
• Appreciating diversity

It's our way of recognizing the value of leadership and the positive impact good leaders have on our ability to deliver the best medical care.
