Description
Leading in healthcare is a complex endeavour. Often leaders have to work under resource limitations, make decisions under time pressure and uncertainty, look for strategic approaches to address persistent and complex health challenges, and work across siloed structures. These challenges require healthcare leaders to demonstrate mastery in emotional intelligence, creativity, innovation, and adaptive leadership. Drawing upon theories and evidence from organizational behaviour, implementation science, complexity theory, and behavioural science, this course will explore how successful leaders utilize evidence to inspire people, improve engagement, optimize performance, and lead innovation and change.
