This one-day course focuses on specific medical leadership styles and behaviours, supporting you to undertake leadership diagnostic questionnaires to learn more about your default leadership style, when you should change it and which other styles may be more effective to use in some situations.
Knowing about the difference between Leadership and Management, doctors can identify the skills required by others (to manage finance, equipment and resources) and the types of leadership required by themselves to build high performing teams in healthcare.
It is only after knowing about oneself can doctors have the highest influence in the development of the wider healthcare team. We will guide you to develop a wide range of leadership styles to help motivate and inspire your team and to towards establishing a high performing team.
