Northwest Healthcare Leadership Institute
The Northwest Healthcare Leadership Institute advances community health within the Pacific Northwest by educating health care leaders in diverse roles, disciplines and organizations.
While many health systems in the Pacific Northwest have created their own leadership programs, no individual program can model the trans-institutional skills required to lead organizations in a future where business, health care, government, and community increasingly interact. This program will not teach everything a leader needs to know, because the requisite skills 5 years from now have not yet been defined. It will teach all the capacities a leader will need to guide a learning organization.
Purpose of the Institute
The Northwest Healthcare Leadership Institute applies a local lens to national healthcare priorities and imperatives. Its unique cross-institutional design prepares healthcare leaders in the Pacific Northwest to collaborate with peers to build a stronger, more innovative healthcare delivery system amidst unprecedented transformation.
A graduate will be prepared to:
- Advocate, collaborate, innovate and adapt to succeed within a largely unknowable future
- Achieve goals by leveraging individual leadership strengths and overcoming blind spots
- Recognize how personal values, resilience and leadership behaviors impact organizational performance and health •Understand how to make strategic decisions given the economic realities and implications of the healthcare industry
Who should participate in this program?
The Institute is designed for current and future leaders in healthcare. Both tracks are open to physician leaders and non-physician leaders in recognition that elevated organizational performance depends on integrating a variety of skill sets, experiences, and the ability to unify a diverse workforce.
The content areas include:
- Strategic collaboration
- Adaptive and complex change
- Leadership development and emotional intelligence
Sessions are highly interactive and focus on skill development. Speci c attention to personal awareness will be a theme throughout the entire program because leadership effectiveness relies on highly evolved interpersonal skills and self-knowledge.
