Leading at every level of a health center is fulfilling and dangerous work. Health center professionals must navigate and manage tremendous volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity as they operate amid a health care environment that is continuously changing and resource strained. Such shifts can challenge deeply held perspectives about the best way to fulfill the mission while raising questions about organizational structures for ensuring optimal health for both patients and the workforce. Every important decision you make when leading change can put you and your leadership on the line. How can leaders avoid the pitfalls of managing adaptive change and help the organization to thrive? This workshop will define and explore Adaptive Leadership as a framework for managing major organizational change successfully and how to survive the risks that come with doing so.
Learning Objectives:
Compare and contrast adaptive and technical problems.
Recall risks associated with leadership.
Outline approaches for surviving and thriving through the dangers of leading.
