Leadership Masterclass
The WSMA Leadership Masterclass an intensive three-day adaptive-learning
course that examines the complex challenges faced by seasoned physician
leaders and provides the tools necessary to solve them.
The WSMA Leadership Masterclass examines the challenges physician leaders
will encounter and provides the tools needed to solve those challenges.
The course provides an individualized framework building on each leader's
style and gifts in order to help them achieve a delicate, but deliberate,
management approach.
The course facilitates development of new, higher-level leadership skills
by immersing participants in interactive problem-solving with peers facing
similar situations. This learning experience equips developing leaders
with self-knowledge about their reactive and creative problem-solving
tendencies, while enabling them to test higher-order skill sets as they
receive real-time feedback from peers.
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Articulate the difference between technical and adaptive problems.
-
Detail the results of a 360-degree Leadership Circle Profile, outlining
their current problem-solving style.
-
Articulate the use of adaptive leadership techniques based on the work
of Ron Heifetz.
-
Receive and give feedback on a range of complex, adaptive problems and
formulate solutions.
