It’s common for leaders to focus on improving results by identifying and resolving problems. However, this problem-solving approach often leads to employee resistance, defensiveness and disengagement.
In Beyond Problem Solving: Leading with Appreciative Inquiry, participants learn to utilize a strengths-based approach to generate an environment that fosters motivation, creativity and collaboration. This approach leads to visionary thinking, engaged teams and innovative results.
This retreat is designed for clinical, non-clinical and administrative health care leaders who want to build on their team’s strengths to achieve organizational outcomes, foster transformational change and have a more positive impact on patient care.
Join other health care leaders for this program on RUSH University’s Illinois Medical District campus.
This was an excellent class for leaders or aspiring leaders. The 5-D methodology is a very great process to use when creating and fostering change. The delivery of this method was well done with using an integrative approach.
