The AHA connected with hospital leaders across the country to understand how they are integrating talent development and succession planning into their culture and operation. The challenges and opportunities identified are presented in this report to help hospitals and health system leaders prioritize and support a robust and comprehensive succession planning program.</p> <p>Particularly over the last two plus years, succession planning may have struggled to garner leadership attention amidst significant challenges associated with the pandemic. But given the talent shortages, turnover and retirements, the talent landscape in health care is rapidly shifting and efforts are needed to consider and plan for the future of leadership.</p> <blockquote>"I think part of it is just identifying the personalities and the type of people you want in these roles before they know it. And then giving people opportunities." <small>David Perlstein, M.D., president and CEO, SBH Health System</small></blockquote> <p>Based on input from hospital and health system leadership, AHA, in partnership with talent management firm, STS, has compiled a guide to evaluating your organization’s current state for succession planning and identifying key factors for developing or enhancing your program. </p> <p>To view all of our leadership resources visit the Physician Alliance <strong><a href="/physician-alliance-be-well">Lead Well</a></strong> page.

During this time of crisis, system goals that we’re once unanimously considered to be top-priority by executives took a back seat to establishing emergency protocols and preserving the lives of patients and medical staff. Our presentation follows the journey of Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS), which saw opportunity during crisis to invest in leadership development and the well-being of physicians through their Applied Physician Leadership Academy (APLA). This 6-month program, collaboratively designed with The Leadership Development Group, paved the way for forward progress on previously dormant mission-critical strategic imperatives while also empowering and engaging physicians as leaders amidst a pandemic backdrop. Learn directly from program designers and participants about key design criteria, leadership competencies, and break through moments that led to program success. </p> <p><strong>Presenters:</strong><br /> <br /> From Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS)</p> <ul> <li>Michael Covert, COO</li> <li>Deepak Aggarwal, MD, Chief of Medical Staff</li> <li>John Clifton Hastings, MD, Recent Past Chief of Staff</li> </ul> <p>From The Leadership Development Group</p> <ul> <li>Tracy Duberman, PhD, President & CEO</li> <li>Tara Satlow, PhD, VP, Client Solutions</li> </ul> Tue, 03 Aug 2021 13:34:53 -0500 Physician Alliance: Lead Well /education-events/aha-leadership-experience <p>Increasing demands on physician and administrative leaders have created an epidemic of burnout.

Participants learn to elevate their personal leadership in every aspect of their lives, which allows them to regain control of what is foundationally core, and what truly matters most in their life and work.</p> <p>For AHA members only, a discounted registration of $3,500 has been extended for a limited time. <strong>Fees include three days of meals, lodging, and intensive coaching and skill development.</strong> Tuition will be invoiced via email, hotel reservations will be made by the Physician Alliance on your behalf.
