About the Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) Leading With Impact leadership course
The APPs Leading With Impact leadership course follows this comprehensive curriculum:
Session 1: Exploring Our Leadership Landscape with Systems Thinking
This first session we build our learning community for the journey ahead and develop a shared understanding of what it means to be a leader in our organizations. We surface and explore the assumptions you make about leadership and shape your learning goals for the program. Finally, we explore the challenges and opportunities in our volatile, complex environment and learn systems thinking principles to make us better sense-makers for our organizations.
Session 2: Leading Self with DISC Insight and Emotional Intelligence
Prior to the session participants will take the DISC assessment and we will use our profiles to better get know each other and ourselves. We will learn the importance of self- and social-awareness, and how these impact relationships and teams.
Session 3: Leading Others with Feedback and Courageous Conversation
Learn and practice a three-step model for conversations where the stakes and/or emotions are high. This involves practices for staying present, maintaining clarity about important outcomes, and asking powerful questions. Practice an approach to giving clear performance feedback in a way that minimizes defensiveness.
Session 4: Leading Teams for Performance and Collaboration
Learn and apply the Team Performance Model™ as a tool for launching teams and diagnosing/addressing team issues, and practical approaches to building both trust, accountability and common goals on your teams. Learn to set up teams and business units for collaboration. You will diagnose and walk away with a performance improvement plan for one of your teams. Identify and practice skills for managing conflict with clarity and presence.
Session 5: Leading with GROW Coaching and Motivation
Deepen your understanding of how to motivate others using the levers of purpose, mastery and autonomy. Learn an approach to coaching that involves less “advice-giving” and more reflection stimulated to powerful questions. Participants will pair up for coaching practice sessions to apply the model. Both of these areas will contribute to better 1-on-1 sessions with team members and colleagues.
Session 6: Leading The Business
Reconnect with your cohort colleagues, and increase your comfort and competence with healthcare finance. We will be joined by a health system finance officer to present key concepts and answer questions. The key elements of a strategic plan will be reviewed, as well as key tools such as stakeholder analysis, environmental scans, strategy development and creating dashboard measures.
Session 7: Leading the Enterprise
Learn several models for leading teams and organizations through change. Craft a guiding vision and learn how to hold a vision of possibility for your organization. Discover and practice how to better communicate departmental/organizational vision and strategy. We will take stock of what we have learned and engage in a peer coaching exercise. Each member of the cohort will leave with a roadmap in place for continuing his or her development with the support of a new professional network.
