Duration
3.5 hours

This course will take place in-person in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in conjunction with N.A.H.S.E.'s Annual Educational Conference and Everett V. Fox Case Competition.
Learning Objectives
Attendees of the half-day session will be able to:
  • Integrate current theories and practical applications toward a comprehensive approach of leading self (emotional intelligence);
  • Evaluate and experiment with various methods of leading others (effective communication, difficult conversations, and teamwork);
  • Explore privileges we may take for granted and discuss how those impact our daily lives and work;
  • Synthesize best practices and emerging strategies for leading organizations (teamwork, talent management, and fostering inclusive environments);
  • Design an integrated toolkit to align aspects of leading self, leading others, and leading organizations with thoughtfulness and tact.

Course Description
This course is focused on a practical, mindfulness-based approach to leadership. It is designed to help faculty learn best practices and innovations that will help their development toward leading self, leading others, and leading organizations. This course is designed as a stand-alone advanced module of a two-part leadership series for faculty members more familiar with the leadership experience; faculty are not required to take the introductory course but are welcome to do so to gain more in-depth grounding in the leading self and leading others concepts. This advanced course will touch on leading self and leading others but will focus on leading organizations.

Through theory and story, advanced principles of leadership will be explored, and their effective application will be examined in the context of the practice of health administration education. Topics include emotional intelligence, effective communication, difficult conversations, teamwork, talent management, and fostering inclusive environments. Faculty should expect to learn more about how they themselves approach learning, how they connect with others in their learning journey, and how they facilitate organizational learning. During the activity where personal privileges are explicitly explored, faculty will gain a deeper sense of how privileges play into the daily lives of their team members and students. The ultimate aim is for faculty to continually develop as health administration educators who embody and exhibit thoughtful action: thought full of action and action full of thought.
