OUR FOCUS
Why leaders in healthcare
Over and over again we meet brilliant medical doctors, scientists, and engineers that are deep experts in their field and excellent at their job. On average, these individuals spend more time at university and in individual contributor roles than their non-scientific peers.
Hence, when their time comes to lead, they often find themselves stretched. Examples of challenges typically include:
-
Communicating effectively with senior leaders, patients, and peers
-
Engaging and inspiring their teams
-
Having difficult conversations, managing conflict
-
Mentoring and developing others
-
Making recommendations under uncertainty
-
Managing larger (interdisciplinary) projects
-
Dealing with pressure and conflicting priorities
-
Integrating work and private life responsibilities
