Description:
Striving towards a common vision.
The best leaders know how to get individuals to work together to accomplish goals. Often we struggle to enable our colleagues to complete projects on time and on budget. We do our best to motivate colleagues and health care service providers for needed changes, or to demonstrate more concern for safety and follow procedures. In short, we continually work on ways to exert our influence, but we regularly fall short.
Influencer © The New Science of Leading Change combines compelling videos and extensive class exercises to give you the skills needed to effectively change behavior. Whether a formal leader or an individual contributor, Influencer can help you drive the change you need.
Return on investment:
- Discover the three keys to influence—what do successful influencers do that separates them from the rest
- Identify Crucial Moments—the moments where enacting the right behavior will have an enormous effect on results
- Study and utilize examples of positive deviance (instances when some people succeed where most others fail)
- Learn that persistent problems do not have one root cause, but multiple causes
- Harness the power of social pressure by finding strength in numbers
- Change the environment to make bad behaviors harder and good behaviors easier
- Use the power of space, data, and tools
Please note:
With the recent launch of the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the presence of several physicians in senior executive roles, the SMA will be, as part of its commitment to growing effective physician leadership, committing the 2018 complement of CMA-SMA in-house PLI courses to meeting the early leadership needs of this group in addition to all other members. We are presently experiencing delays as we coordinate the fall in-house PLI schedule with this group of physician leaders, but expect to have more dates and topics finalized soon. We appreciate you patience as we organize these courses to deliver the best possible support to our members.
