Leading Through Uncertainty in Healthcare: Strategies for Effective Change Management
In a time of rapid policy shifts, financial pressures, and evolving patient needs, uncertainty has become a common operating state in healthcare leadership. Navigating these complex and often ambiguous environments requires more than operational expertise, it demands adaptive leadership, strategic communication and a deep understanding of change dynamics. This session will explore how healthcare leaders at all levels can effectively guide their teams and organizations through periods of disruption and rapid-paced change. Drawing from established change management frameworks, participants will learn practical strategies to foster clarity, trust and alignment during times of instability.
The speaker will share management characteristics of high-performing organizations, provide core concepts in leadership amidst ambiguity using communication about vision and demonstrate leveraging feedback to adapt in real time. Participants will leave with a leadership toolkit designed to help navigate through uncertain times with a focus on high-quality performance.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe foundational change management frameworks and their relevance to healthcare leadership.
- Define strategies on managing uncertainty effectively, including leadership and change management approaches for scenario planning, stakeholder alignment and continuous feedback loops.
