January 6 Leadership Series Continues with…
“Leadership Imperatives in a Post-COVID-19 Environment”
Featuring Special Guest Speaker
Chuck Stokes, FACHE
About the Program
Join us on January 6 as Chuck Stokes, FACHE, Founding Partner at Relia Healthcare Advisors and Former President and CEO of Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston, looks at the leadership qualities necessary to survive and thrive during the pandemic and what workforce issues leaders should be anticipating in a post-COVID environment.
Join us on January 6 for our next Leadership Series session with Chuck Stokes, FACHE. And earn 1 hour of ACHE Qualified Education Credit.
Stokes will look at the current state of front-line worker engagement (physicians, nurses, and other staff), what to expect in a post-COVID environment, and how to make improvements in these relationships.
Stokes will also address the issue of burnout due to COVID-19. For example, while some rising operations stars have buckled under the stress of the pandemic, others have risen to the occasion and stepped up. What are the characteristics of these resilient leaders? And what do you need to do as a leader to communicate, encourage, and inspire your workforce during this challenging time?
Topics Will Include:
- The urgency of senior leadership to embrace diversity and inclusion in their medical and nursing staff and ask these people for input on how to rebuild the delivery model of care, which will change due to things like telemedicine.
- Re-engagement tools that will be necessary for employers, physicians, nurses, and other front-line staff.
- What will the workforce look like post-COVID? Will people leave their current positions due to burnout to find something else?
- What leaders need to do to prepare their organizations once vaccinations begin and we begin to move past COVID.
- Frontline workers — physicians and nurses — will need to be trained for changes in systems in the new environment. What should you be doing now to prepare?
- What are the characteristics and traits of people who are going to lead for the future? What do the best leaders have in their skill set to emerge successfully from various crises?
About the Leadership Series
The Leadership Series was created to bring to GAHE members and guests the top national leaders in the field of healthcare to give us their insights into their careers, their organizations, and the decisions they made to get them to where they are today.
You’ll learn straight from the source how these top executives run their organizations and manage their success.
The format is one hour with 50 minutes of lecture and 10 minutes of Q&A. We are expecting to offer at least one session a month, and the schedule will depend on speaker availability. Our series qualifies for one hour of qualified continuing education credit with ACHE.
