HEALTHCARE LEADER COACHING AND DEVELOPMENT

How We Partner With Operations and Functional Leaders

Being a great leader in health care requires not just building one's own leadership abilities but also facilitating others' capacity to lead, all the way to the front line. It requires expertly uncovering causal factors, problem solving from a systems perspective, continuously improving upon those gains and most importantly, creating empowered cultures.

Through our executive coaching we have helped leaders:

Influence change and achieve results without having direct authority, but with functional responsibility
Create and execute on a strategy to develop early career nurse leaders
Improve interpersonal relationships through constructive conflict resolution strategies
Transition to executive and director level positions
Transition from individual contributor to a department leader
Mitigate potential derailers; increase self awareness and enhance self regulation
Strengthen peer relationships
Develop service line strategic plans that clarify line of sight to organizational goals
Cultivate strategic and systems thinking
Drive employee engagement
Launch change management and communication strategies
