Workshop

Description: While there are numerous books, articles, and courses on leadership development, key principles of leadership and management are common to all of them. In this interactive workshop, suitable for participants at all levels (learners unto senior leaders), these key principles will be discussed using three metaphorical objects. The compass indicates the mission ('True North') of the organization. The mirror represents self-awareness and self-management. The Swiss-army knife represents eight key leadership principles - data analytics, decision-making, communication (including meeting skills), project management, change management, financial management, team interactions (including the Korean concept of ‘Nunchi’), and crisis management.

Learning Objectives:

List the key principles of leadership and management in pediatric healthcare.
Apply key leadership and management principles to defined organizational challenges in a simulated setting.
Create an individualized learning plan to enhance their knowledge and skills as leaders and managers in pediatric healthcare.
