Significant health care change initiatives today often focus
on technology and process, unfortunately in doing so they frequently neglect the
key ingredient for execution — the people. When organizations focus on aligning
people with strategy, the likelihood of execution improves to drive performance
success in outcomes.
We operate in an
industry that experiences constant change and regulation. The fundamental challenge
to all health care leaders is: How do I as a leader intend to lead my
organization through the constant changes driven by the market and by health
care reform? Leadership is the daily, persistent expression of behavior that
positively connects with people to execute and accomplish the mission of the organization.
If you have been receiving our newsletter for some time you have heard us
repeat over again that individual leader behavior is the singular most
important predictor to this high level of organizational performance. We do so
because time and time again it continues to appear that when people are engaged
positively with their leader they are engaged in their work.
Influential leaders succeed where other leaders fail because
they perform at a higher level, are more productive, and achieve greater
results than other leaders, faced with similar circumstances and given the same
resources. The success and effectiveness of influential leaders is driven by
what is commonly referred to as tactical capacity - a set of behaviors that enables
them to become role models for followers, guide operational improvements,
execute on strategy consistently, and sustain performance excellence.
Influential leaders recognize the importance of
self-awareness, collaboration, and building highly effective relationships.
They spend time focusing their efforts in key areas that will build connections
with the people they lead to drive performance. They focus these efforts around
the fundamental skill set of tactical capacity. We define tactical capacity as
simply “getting it right as a leader” both with the technical elements of performance
but with people too. When you have a meaningful relationship with another
person you work more effectively together. You have a common goal and a consistent
purpose. Your efforts are channeled toward the same common outcome and you
drive performance in the organization to peak levels.
