Summary:
Have you ever been up in a hot air balloon? Rising to leadership can be almost as exhilarating! Just as a balloon needs thoughtful construction and preparation before taking flight, aspiring healthcare leaders need a foundation of knowledge and skills to help them rise to the occasion.
RISE to Leadership: Emerging Leaders is a virtual leadership development course designed to help aspiring healthcare leaders explore whether leadership is the right path for them and prepare for the opportunities and responsibilities that come with a leadership role.
Using hot air balloon construction as a framework, participants will explore the skills that support effective healthcare leadership. Topics include leadership styles, communication, decision-making, staffing and finance, healthy work environments, and performance management. Participants will also examine how leaders navigate change, manage risk, and connect individual decisions to the broader healthcare system.
Through independent learning, practical assignments, and live virtual discussions, participants will build knowledge to inform their decisions about future healthcare leadership roles.
• 16 Contact hours will be awarded to individuals who complete all of the modules, attend at least 70% of the live sessions, and complete an evaluation.
• Creative Health Care Management is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
