2024 Atlanta Cluster

Our patients, employees, clinicians and communities deserve the very best we can provide. When leaders and boards struggle with effective and credible leadership, it can result in a disengaged workforce, a misaligned culture and patients who lose trust in the organization. This involves a level of self-awareness and skills that don’t often develop through technical expertise or experience. Emotional intelligence, honest self-assessment, humility and courage are valuable for successful leaders.

This session will focus on what values-driven leadership means on a daily basis in a variety of different settings, using examples from the experiences of C-suite leaders and board members. Topics include self-awareness and emotional intelligence; culture, character and accountability; diversity, equity and inclusion; effective communication; psychological safety; critical thinking and strategy; mindfulness and resilience; power and politics; governance versus management; and compassion and caring. This interactive session will demonstrate the integration of these topics with real-time situations, leaving sufficient time for audience discussion and questions.

Seminar Objectives:

• Describe the components of effective, values-driven leadership.
• Identify the roles self-reflection, emotional intelligence and resilience play in a leader.
• Recognize the benefit of a psychologically safe, diverse and inclusive team.
