How We Develop Our Own Leaders

Too often in healthcare, the only difference between the best floor nurse and the head nurse for the department is 72-hours over the weekend to decide if she really wants the job. -- Al Stubblefield, CEO, Baptist Health Care
An organization cannot reach its goals without leaders who are aligned, accountable and prepared (trained) to get the job done. Amazingly, our research shows that a barrista at Starbucks receives more annual hours of development than a typical healthcare manager.
Our journey to patient centered excellence has taught us a few things:
- All leaders require development on a consistent (quarterly) basis
- Leader development should flow from the organizations annual goals
- Leaders need to demonstrate proficiency with what they learn via competency and accountability tools, plus their 90-day plans
A key component of a partnership with Baptist Leadership Group is development of a consistent approach to aligned leader development that equates to better organizational execution. We provide all the curriculum, tools and expert facilitation.
Much of what we bring to our partners began in-house at Baptist University, recognized by Leadership Excellence as one of the Top Leadership Development Programs 2003, 2005, and 2007.
In addition to the leadership development that we will provide, BU can also work with your organization to develop a long-term, self-sufficient approach to three-tier leader development for:
- Emerging leaders
- Mid-level leaders
- Senior leaders
