Leadership Skills All Physicians Should Have View in Browser | Forward to a Friend | |
Dear John, With the competitive state of the healthcare industry, there’s a critical need for physician leaders with business-oriented skills. These skills include: Coaching. A good coach can create greater levels of engagement, confront issues head-on, and have potent, performance-changing conversations. With highly developed coaching skills, physicians can become catalysts for the high performance and career acceleration of their clinical team members. Influence. The key to being influential is not to force others to do the things you want them to do. It’s to find ways to make them want to do them. Being influential is essentially the opposite of being authoritarian or pulling rank. It’s about assessing the needs of your staff and facility as a whole and then motivating your team to act. Empathy. As a physician, you always have empathy for your patients. But what about your medical staff? Great leaders resist the urge to dismiss the problems of others. They listen and imagine themselves in the other person’s shoes. Often, healthcare facilities need to launch formal training to equip their physician leadership teams with these key skills. Bluepoint’s Physician As Coach workshop offers a practical, highly experiential program designed to help physicians excel at coaching others for high performance. Your physicians will create a personal development plan to become a distinctly coach-like leader with the ability to encourage greater levels of engagement from clinical teams and improve metrics throughout your facility. | |
