Description
Leadership is a key skill set in
academic medical settings. From early in their careers
faculty are expected to perform successfully in
leadership roles, such as those encountered on research
teams, curriculum planning projects or new initiatives
on quality or safety. These expectations exist in highly
complex environments where the future can be uncertain.
Stakes are high in many leadership situations, with
outcomes associated with funding, efficiency,
productivity and morale.
This seminar will provide medical
scientists with practical tools to advance their
leadership skills. The session begins with a template to
organize leadership development in categories that range
from “macro” to “micro” skills. Next will be a four-part
framework for diagnosing leadership gaps and for
planning leadership actions. This framework has been
used successfully in several long-standing leadership
courses. We will apply the framework to a case example,
as participants use a worksheet to see the four frames
in action. The session will close with “lessons from the
field” along with select resources for improving future
leadership effectiveness.
Participants in this seminar will
be able to:
- Describe an organizing
template they can apply to their own leadership
development
- List the four parts of a
tested framework for diagnosing gaps and
implementing leadership actions
- Apply the framework to a case
example, completing a detailed worksheet
- Discuss lessons from the field
and share resources with co-participants.
