The fundamental view that guides this course is that leadership in diverse healthcare focused organizations has shifted from being predominantly about “command and control” to being more oriented towards “cultivate and coordinate.” Enabling change in the changing health care environment requires leaders to have a compelling vision of the change they want to create, insight into themselves and others, a clear understanding of the contexts in which change occurs, and effective practices for producing shifts in current ways of doing things.
This course will include leadership concepts, tools and skills, as well as reflection. Through a variety of readings, cases, videos, exercises, and practice assignments in your organization this course will help you develop your leadership capabilities, both in the near term as well as over time.
