Navigating Turbulent Times: Building Communities of Leading
Facing ever-more complex challenges, how we think about leading needs to change as well. Drawing on extensive research on leading through crisis and change as well as compelling examples, Eric reveals how to tap into the power of humans' natural collaborative instincts to build a high performance, high commitment healthcare organization.
Leading Through Crisis and Change
Never has healthcare been more turbulent: Burnout and staff shortages, new technologies, rising inequities, and evolving business models are but a few of the factors driving change. Guiding a team or organization through such change begins with becoming comfortable with ambiguity that you, you, your team, or your board off kilter. McNulty shows how effective change leaders build islands of certainty that spur engagement in change and foster resilience through adversity.
The Deeply Human, Deeply Social Future of Healthcare Work
While the bells-and-whistles of the latest technology get the most attention, people will continue to want to work together. We are a social species with instinctual urges to collaborate. The future of healthcare work will call people to team up to tackle ever-more complex problems with greater urgency. That means a transition from organizations built for stability and predictability to structures optimized for fluidity and adaptive capacity. McNulty explains how to lead an organizations with the ability to sense-and-respond rapidly amidst ambiguity and unpredictability.
