Experience introduces us to all sorts of leaders: ineffective (to put it politely), decently competent, good, and a select few who emerge very clearly as the best of the best. They inspire us because even though they aren’t perfect, their distinguishing behaviours – what they do that other leaders don’t – impact all those around them and inspire consistently outstanding results.
These outstanding behaviours could have game-changing implications for leaders at all levels, potentially informing their own leadership practice and development, as well as talent spotting and development more broadly.
To explore this topic, the CCHL Certified Health Executive (CHE) Program is pleased to present an interactive exclusive webinar for CCHL Strategic Alliance partners, led by the CCHL’s Dr. Jaason Geerts, Vice-President of Research and Leadership Development, entitled, “Not Perfect, but the Best: The Behaviours That Distinguish the Most Outstanding Leaders”.
This session will be informed by CCHL’s international academic and cutting-edge rapid research, as well as by event participants through a pre-survey and in-session discussions.
A Unique Experience
Along with tackling this exciting topic, participants will be immersed in a unique Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) experience. At several key points, the audience collectively will select the topic or illustrative examples and their choices instantly determine the course of the discussion, resulting in a journey unique to that group.
Event Structure
Structure-wise, the event begins with a brief overview of the current state of healthcare leadership in Canada, followed by a clarification of the distinctions between the concepts of leadership and management.
The bulk of the remaining time will be spent exploring outstanding leader behaviours related to LEADS capabilities.
We will touch on differences among levels, as well as implications for development and talent strategies.
Finally, participants will be invited to consider practical next steps to apply at work.
This webinar is the tenth in a series of semi-annual engagements exclusive to faculty, staff, members, and students of CCHL’s Strategic Alliance partners.
