4) Leadership Lessons with a Personalized Perspective: Nurturing Organizational Transformation
Person-centered care is critical not only to a patient’s recovery but also to the financial success of your medical facility and to the people in your workforce. When leaders create a culture where their employees are recognized and appreciated for their expertise, attentiveness, and empathy, it improves the health and success of patients, boosts teams sense of well being, and directly affects the bottom line of the business through employee engagement and retention, organizational productivity, and patient satisfaction scores and reimbursements.
Healthcare leaders often assume the role of coach, mentor, friend, motivator, and career counselor while simultaneously maintaining an executive presence. At the same time, regulatory pressures, board and stakeholder demands, and doing more with less add relentless strain to the weight carried by healthcare executives. Balancing the needs of everyone requires rigorous and unfaltering attention, devotion and skill.
With keen insight and appreciation for the challenges faced by leaders in healthcare, Allison addresses the personal side of their work and the everyday challenges of being human, which can be quickly forgotten with the pressures of the day.
This dynamic and poignant program provides innovative leadership lessons that invigorate and fortify participants to be able to tackle their work with newfound vigor and expansive thinking.
“People want to feel a sense of purpose. And—they want to feel seen and appreciated. The first step, as leaders and managers, is to invest in our company culture and demonstrate that we care about our people. We want to create an environment where people can bring their talent forward into the workflow and feel the satisfaction and pleasure of being a part of a team, working towards a mission, making an impact.”
“Everyone who goes into health care truly has a desire to help people. You all are the givers. You go into this career path with a mission to care for people. But then, feeling so stretched with time constraints, stress, demand, and all of the present systemic problems that need to be resolved—it's so natural to feel like, ‘Wow, I'm just not living that mission.’ But you are. It's in the little moments— the touch of a hand, the art of listening, just listening…the way you pay attention to how you look at someone, taking the time. It doesn’t have to take long, but those little moments are the big moments.” —Allison Massari
