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.

Participants will leave with a leadership toolkit designed to help navigate through uncertain times with a focus on high-quality performance.
