All Live Workshops are Limited to 45! 2012 Mid-Management Healthcare Leadership Series Giving YOU the Tools of Successful Leaders Making the transition to supervisor/manager/leader is a significant step for nearly everyone who takes it. Research shows that managers are the primary factor determining an employee s desire to work for the hospital. That underscores the need to develop supervisors with the skills and competencies necessary to create an environment of mutual trust, respect and open communications with the people they direct. In today s healthcare environment, accepting a leadership role is far more challenging and complex than ever before. First, there is the challenge of simply getting oriented to what it means to be a manager/leader. This is closely followed by the realization that YOU carry the responsibility for meeting the demands of your organization for high quality and productivity as well as compliance and financial outcomes. You also quickly learn that these accountabilities must be balanced with an excellent grasp of human relation skills in working closely and collaborating with others. In its seventh year, the Arkansas Hospital Association s Mid-Management Healthcare Leadership Series continues to add focus to critical leadership skills and competencies with new workshop topics. The series will offer four one-day workshops and four Webinars.
The AHA Mid-Management Healthcare Leadership Series is more than classroom learning. Each of the leadership courses include networking opportunities with hospital staff from other facilities making the move to management and the opportunity to learn with and from faculty with extensive experience in the area of leadership development. Who Should Attend? These workshops are designed for individuals new to hospital supervisory or mid-level management positions. The programs also help groom employees who may eventually be moving into middle-management positions. In addition, experienced managers seeking a refresher course should find the curriculum valuable.
