Today’s health care and public health workers face an increasing range of leadership challenges, some that are technical and others that are adaptive. Technical challenges can be complex but can usually be addressed with existing knowledge. Adaptive challenges often involve acquisition of new knowledge, uncertain outcomes, and regularly demand collaboration across teams.
The October session of Hot Topics in Practice will review the framework of adaptive leadership with a focus on the health systems sector. Attendees will consider their past, current and future leadership challenges using this framework.
