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.
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.
Leading in Health Systems is one of the nine programs eligible for the Executive Leadership in Health Care Certificate of Specialization, which is specially designed for those who desire to learn how to excel at managing and leading groups in a health care setting. The Certificate consists of three* programs—offered both online and on-site in Boston, MA—designed and taught by Harvard Faculty and prominent health care leaders to prepare you for the future of an ever-changing health care industry.
For more information, visit our Executive Leadership in Health Care Certificate of Specialization page.
*Program for Chairs of Clinical Services and Leadership Development for Physicians in Academic Health Centers each count as two programs towards the certificate.
Meta-leadership is a conceptually rigorous and field-tested framework to enable you to foster innovation, anticipate change, and address dynamic, complex, and risk-laden challenges. It helps you close the gap between great idea and great execution. Meta-leadership equips you to effectively lead down to your team, up to your boss, across to your peers, and beyond your organization to other stakeholders.
The meta-leadership framework draws from research in leadership, health care, conflict management, neuroscience, negotiation, and emergency management. It provides an action-oriented tool set that you will be able to deploy right away. The program emphasis is on making you a more effective leader from day one back on the job.
In this seminar, you will learn from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health faculty members who developed the meta-leadership method for building enterprise-wide connectivity of effort; the Walk in the Woods model for complex problem solving and interest-based negotiation; and the swarm intelligence strategy for building collaboration during times of crisis. They together are authors of Renegotiating Health Care: Resolving Conflict to Build Collaboration, Second Edition.
