Episode notes
Rising New Leaders Demand Development
- Many leaders in healthcare are new, with turnover rates reaching 35% or even over 100% during the pandemic.
- This shift demands tailored leadership development because past experience doesn't guarantee preparedness for current challenges.
Use Precision Leadership Development
- Use diagnostic tools to identify each leader's unique skill needs based on tenure and role.
- Leaders should focus on one or two key skills with support from their supervisors, avoiding overwhelming workloads.
Unlocking Multi-Generational Workforce Potential
- Healthcare teams now commonly feature four generations, each with distinct traits and misconceptions among others.
- Building trust and busting generational myths can unlock operational value and improve collaboration.
