Message From The Program Director
Dear participant,
People who work in health care are motivated from an inner sense that their contributions make a difference to those we serve. The Certificate in Clinical Leadership is about these people, about trust and relationships. Leaders clear the way for people to find and unlock their potential, urging them toward certain actions. Influential leaders continuously explore leading practices and develop new knowledge and skills.
We invite you to examine and enhance your leadership capacity through the Certificate in Clinical Leadership. You will experience the power of a leadershipcentered culture that values and fosters adaptive decision-making in the context of uncertainty. The program will provoke your thinking about leadership knowledge and practices. You will examine a variety of models of leadership and change, explore complexity and interdependence, autonomy and accountability, and ways of generating high energy responses to change and innovation. You will learn about motivating and inspiring people through your response to basic human needs for achievement, recognition and self esteem.
You will complete this program equipped with new leadership practices as you face greater ambiguity, urgency and uncertainty in today's health care environments.
Are you ready for the challenge? If you think you are, we'd like to work with you. Please consider our invitation today!
