Recover, Rebuild, Restructure, Release:How to Engage and Unleash the Team for Healthcare’s “New Day”
In the ongoing narrative of worldwide change, the healthcare landscape has been shifted and redefined by new challenges, propelling teams into a new culture of working together. This interactive session will explore the need to adjust our strategy to rebuild both leaders and frontline staff – we are not who we once were.
Recover--Acknowledging our humanity in the wake of grief, trauma and ongoing change. From CEO to patient-facing staff, we need permission to put our own lifejacket first.
Rebuild--The art of reestablishing safe communication and information flow on your team and regaining your momentum towards solution-oriented teams.
Restructure--Leadership strategies that create on-ramps for individuals to creatively address perceived needs and become part of the solution.
Release-- Finding the courage to address and perhaps release the low performer for the sake of the team. Concurrently, those who are prepared for action must be encouraged to drive the team forward into the strength of healthcare’s “new day”.
