Clinical Leadership Series Part 3: Asset Stacking: Building Your Path to Systemic Impact

Many clinicians, educators, and school leaders know they should be working collaboratively, but don’t know how to find time to do it. If you have a friend or colleague who seems to have magical productivity powers, I promise there’s a method to the madness. Most likely, they’ve just gotten really good at a concept I call “asset stacking”. It starts with asking yourself the question, “What can I create now that can save me time or effort later?”  

In this third episode in the 3-part clinical leadership, I share how the concept of “asset stacking” can be used by both current and aspiring clinical and educational leaders to make an impact on the systems they’re working in. 

Key Points:
✅ Creating a long-term strategic vision for your professional growth
✅ The concept of asset stacking and how to use it to impact systems
✅ Multiple service delivery models that position you as a leader
✅ Developing a master plan that aligns your expertise with system needs

Takeaways:
✅ Asset stacking compounds your influence over time
✅ Your unique combination of skills creates distinctive value
✅ Service delivery innovation positions you as a thought leader

Action Step: Begin your leadership master plan by identifying your unique "stack" of professional assets and one system-level challenge they could address.
