Collaborative Leadership The Focus Of The 2017 OPEN MINDS Executive Leadership Retreat
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (December 18, 2016) — OPEN MINDS has announced that The 2017 OPEN MINDS Executive Leadership Retreat, will be held on September 26-28, 2017 at the historic Gettysburg Hotel in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This retreat is designed as an annual bootcamp for current and future leaders to hone their leadership skills for sustainability in the turbulent health care landscape. This executive-focused event, which projects over 250 attendees, will focus on meta-leadership and the challenges leaders face in a time of change.
“With health and human services in a time of turbulence, the meta-leadership skills of executives have never been as important as they are today,” explains Monica E. Oss, OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer. “It is the leadership framework for strategically combining the efforts of different organizations to provide guidance, direction, and momentum that develop into a shared course of action for a common outcome. This year’s retreat is focused on: making those important collaborations work, understanding the perspectives of potential collaborators, and building “leadership intelligence” to prepare yourself for the leadership resilience needed to make collaborations successful in the long-term.”
The OPEN MINDS Executive Leadership Retreat curriculum is based on five key domains – Building Meta-Leadership Skills, Exploring Ethical Leadership In Health & Human Services, Developing Leadership Skills For Organizational Transformation, Shaping Transactional Leadership Skills, and Creating “Executive Athletes” To Lead In A Changing Landscape.
Building Meta-Leadership Skills
Navigating the new world order of pay-for-value requires new management skill sets – and a new framework for leadership. Meta-leadership is an overarching leadership framework for strategically linking the efforts of different organizations to work collaboratively toward a long-term goal. In a market that is increasingly dependent on integrated action and delivery of value, meta-leadership is essential. In this track, we will give you the building blocks you need to make collaboration successful for your organization in our current environment.
Exploring Ethical Leadership In Health & Human Services
Ethical leadership involves the commitment to doing what is right. In the world of non-profit health and human services, there are many ethical questions – At it’s most basic, what is the role of leaders in the policy and political discussions of the field? At it’s most challenging, how do leaders navigate the pressure for near-term results with the long-term public good? In this track, we’ll tackle the tough ethical challenges facing leaders in a new era of value-based care.
Developing Leadership Skills For Organizational Transformation
Organizational transformation is a term with many meanings. There is organizational transformation from the perspective of strategic market positioning, management infrastructure, and culture. In the health and human service field, successful executives need to address all three levels of organizational transformation simultaneously. In this track, we will focus on the skills you need to reinvent your organization through growth, innovation, and change to build successful and sustainable business models.
Shaping Transactional Leadership Skills
Transactional leadership involves an exchange between leadership and employees with rewards given for good work and positive outcomes. In a time of turbulence in health and human services, executives must focus on planning, organizing, directing and controlling their organization for success in a time of change. In this track, we will focus on the skills you need to lead your organization and employees through detailed planning and direction to combat the challenges in the industry.
Creating “Executive Athletes” To Lead In A Changing Landscape
Leaders report high levels of burnout, stress, fatigue, and chronic health conditions. The ever-growing demands on executive time and energy frequently result in suboptimal performance, disengagement, and judgment errors. In this increasingly competitive environment, executives need to learn to train their inner “executive athlete” to manage, align, and increase their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy – it can determine an entire organization’s ability to weather a downturn, survive a crisis, or drive a business to extraordinary growth. In this track, we’ll give you the tools to turn your leaders into successful executive athletes.
