Protocols for Executive Behavior: Think Before You Act

The healthcare arena is undergoing massive change—the possibility of career derailment is always looming on the horizon. Effective leaders in the healthcare field will be those who are attentive to all of the requisites for success and will be particularly attentive to the appropriateness of their behavior, conduct, and demeanor.

In continuing education, heavy focus is placed on the development of technical, administrative, and human resources skills. However, executive success is often bred through the possession of what might be called "a sense of the appropriate." Described this seminar as “protocols,” it represents the unwritten societal and organizational expectations of executive behavior.

This seminar is available only as an ACHE On-Location Program.

Seminar Content

This seminar will introduce and explain the four-factor model of executive success. Emphasis is placed on learning exactly what traits make leaders a success.

Participants work in small groups on assigned case studies that introduce the wide variety of areas in which the appropriateness of an executive’s behavior determines his or her managerial success or failure. The program allows participants to focus heavily on their personal leadership development; at the end of the seminar, they will be able to put all the protocols and skills together to develop a personal action plan.
