[WEBINAR] Health care companies spend billions on leadership development to help physicians, nurse leaders and staff professionals become more effective managers. Unfortunately, research shows that most leadership development is ineffective when not tailored to business strategy. Rather than one-size-fits-all leadership training, they need to help leaders learn relevant skills to achieve specific organizational objectives. This webinar will provide attendees with a proven and systematic method for improving organizational performance based on the latest research in adult learning, neuroscience and strategic talent management that involves: identifying critical strategic leadership competencies; assessing leaders’ capacity to meet demands; and quickly developing strategy-critical competencies. The presenters will review recent research that focuses on leaders and leadership development during and post COVID-19. Attendees will learn to build leadership development into daily work schedules, match leadership development strategies to the needs of individual leaders, and build leadership programs around what it will take to make their business successful.
