As we look to 2021, it is time to begin assessing operations and developing plans for the new year. While the current environment brings new challenges and uncertainties, some things remain constant. One is the need for leadership and direction within an organization. Successful practices have a defined mission and core values which are reflected in how they treat patients and employees. Not only do these practices have a plan, but employees know where they fit in the plan, the rationale behind it and why it is essential to work together as a team.
In our November workshop series hosted by the Medical Practice Services Department, you will learn strategies for enhancing your own leadership style and walk away with specific techniques to implement within your organization, including how to have difficult conversations. We will address the necessity and methods for setting goals and priorities for the coming year. At the conclusion of the three sessions, you will have developed an action plan specific to your practice.
There is no charge for this virtual interactive workshop, but registration is limited. For more information and registration, click here.
