A High-Impact Health Care Leadership Development Program

Health systems face enormous challenges in an era of ongoing transformation. Pressures to improve outcomes, expand access, manage attrition, and control costs continue to mount as populations age and technologies advance. Leading in Health Systems: Activating Transformational Change equips current and future health system leaders with strategic perspective and leadership skills to navigate this dynamic environment.

Today, leaders must think and lead differently. You need to think broadly and drive action, with both conflict resolution and negotiation skills to build stakeholder buy-in, even beyond your organization. Being an effective health care leader during and after a crisis requires you to engage stakeholders across your system and often influence people over whom you have no formal authority.

The faculty for Leading in Health Systems: Activating Transformational Change will draw on decades of experience of engagement with health care professionals and field research on crisis situations, including the pandemic. Through this frame, you will learn proven, pragmatic frameworks, tools, and techniques developed by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health faculty for bringing together partners with opposing points-of-view, uncovering shared interests, and forging unity of effort.

Leadership, Conflict Resolution, and Negotiation Skills in Health Care

This course will develop your ability to lead effectively in health care now—and in the face of changes to come. If you, like many others, are selected for an executive position based on your clinical expertise or individual contributions, you will find leadership to be the missing specialty in your preparation. With the health care system consolidating, merging, integrating, and changing, you need focused leadership training to meet interpersonal, system, and problem-solving challenges. Leading in Health Systems: Activating Transformational Change will help you recognize emerging opportunities and threats, engage diverse stakeholders, allocate scarce resources, make more effective decisions, and shape change in your organization.

By intentionally connecting and leveraging diverse talents and assets, you increase the likelihood of achieving and sustaining positive outcomes. At this continuing education course, you will develop proficiency in meta-leadership and the Walk in the Woods–distinctive frameworks and practice methods for leadership and complex problem solving not found in other executive education programs.
