1:00-4:15 Conflict Management and Negotiation Skills Workshop

The manner in which conflicts are managed can have tremendous positive or negative bottom line consequences for any healthcare organization. Healthcare organizations are constantly challenged to adapt to rapidly changing conditions by modifying operations, embracing new technologies, and providing innovative solutions to evolving patient and customer concerns. In this sea of change, it is inevitable that conflicts will arise. To maintain peak organizational performance, physicians with leadership responsibility must have the skills to effectively and proactively deal with a wide range of conflict situations. Physicians in this interactive workshop will be provided with those skills. They will obtain a rich understanding of the dynamics of conflict, and how and why it occurs. Physicians will then examine their own styles of managing conflict and learn numerous effective techniques to turn conflict situations into constructive action, including alternative negotiation strategies and "second round capability." For each technique physician leaders will learn its potential costs and benefits and the particular situations where each is most likely to be effective.

Note: A fifteen minute break will be provided midway through this workshop.

8:30-12:00 Coaching Skills Workshop: How to Bring out the Best in Others

Effective leaders are those who like superstar athletes bring out the best in others. This is done most effectively with proper coaching and feedback. Effective coaching and feedback, however, consists of more than just telling someone how good or bad they are, it also involves motivating and inspiring an individual to commit to the healthcare organization's larger mission. This workshop will help physician managers to assess their relative strengths and weaknesses in a variety of coaching situations. Specific action steps will be provided which will allow physician leaders to dramatically improve their leadership skills and allow them to inspire others to commit themselves fully to their healthcare organization. Physicians will have an opportunity to practice their leadership skills during this workshop's interactive exercises.

Note: A fifteen minute break will be provided midway through this workshop.
12:00-1:00 Lunch with Faculty (Provided)
1:00-4:15 Managing Change Workshop

In a world characterized by increasing consumer sophistication, intense resource constraints, and rapid technological advances, healthcare organizations must engage in a process of continuous self-assessment and renewal to remain competitive. As a result, healtchcare organizations must be prepared to constantly adjust to evolving market and regulatory conditions. This requirement to become and remain flexible and nimble places ever greater demands on physician leaders and managers to become masters at orchestrating change efforts. This workshop will help physician managers to more effectively lead their organization through the constant changes that are a permanent part of healthcare delivery. Physician managers will learn to recognize the three common stages in all change efforts and how each must be addressed differently. They will also learn how to evaluate an organization's current capacity to absorb change and ways to enhance this capacity over time. Four proven ways that leadership and management skills can be used to improve the likelihood of successfully introducing a change in a healthcare organization will be explained and discussed as well as the seven key major principles of change management.

Note: A fifteen minute break will be provided midway through this workshop.
