Why Healthcare Leadership at Bauer?Leadership is critical to success in all businesses. I would like to suggest that leadership in healthcare is even more important than leadership in other industries. There are several reasons for this. First, healthcare, by definition, is people taking care of other people, quickly developing trusting and intimate relationships, sometimes in the most dire of circumstances. It is focused on birth, death, injury, suffering, pain, mental improvement, and physical recovery. It is likely the most people-centric business you can think of. Second, wages and salaries are the largest expense of clinics and hospitals. You cannot be successful in providing healthcare without being able to successfully lead highly trained and specialized individuals and teams. And third, healthcare is under intense scrutiny and pressure to improve quality, cost, and access. It is a time of tremendous change. Change is hard. Leading in an industry which is changing annually, and often month-to-month (think COVID, telehealth, volume to value, payer/provider consolidation, frequent and major regulatory changes, new payment schemes, etc.) requires an incredible degree of adaptability and skill in leading organizations through change.This is why Bauer is focused on offering world-class healthcare business leadership.#healthcare #bauer #leadership

    Engaging Doctors in the Health Care RevolutionDESPITE WONDROUS ADVANCES in medicine and technology, health care regularly fails at the fundamental job of any business: to reliably deliver what its customers need.Fixing health care will require a radical transformation, moving from a system organized around individual physicians to a team-based approach focused on patients. Doctors, of course, must be central players in the transformation: Any ambitious strategy that they do not embrace is doomed.Given doctors’ angst, how can leaders best engage them in redesigning care? Engaging doctors in change requires first clarifying the organizational goal. Leaders must shift the emphasis from the short-term maximization of revenue to the long-term strategy of increasing value, putting what’s best for patients first. They can bring doctors along by applying four motivational strategies; described by the economist and sociologist Max Weber:• Engaging them in a noble shared purpose,• Appealing to their selfinterest, • Leveraging peer pressure to encourage desired performance, and • Emphasizing organizational traditions to align behaviors.Leaders can use these levers to earn doctors’ buy-in and bring about the change the system so urgently needs.(HBR Must Read on Leadership for Healthcare - by Thomas H. Lee and Toby Cosgrove)#healthcare #transformation #leadership #HBR

    "Change in business, we know, is the only constant. The rate or pace of change, however, is a variable and in 2024 leaders predict it will be pedal to the metal," says Jane Sparrow.As healthcare evolves, leaders must stay prepared for change. By anticipating shifts in technology, regulations, and patient needs, they can navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and drive meaningful progress in delivering quality care. Embrace preparedness as the cornerstone of effective leadership in healthcare.

    Despite the volatility healthcare has experienced in recent years and the effect that's had on leadership turnover, the average length of a CEO tenure in the industry is in line with the average for all industries, at 7.6 years versus 7.4, according to a report by Crist|Kolder Associates.However, that data, which measures Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies, doesn't tell the story of most hospitals and health systems, which are churning over CEOs at a higher rate.HealthLeaders#CEO #strategy #leadership

    The future of healthcare leadership extends beyond the boundaries of the traditional healthcare sector. Leaders with cross-industrial experience, having worked in diverse fields such as technology, finance, and manufacturing, bring a unique skill set to the table. This broad perspective allows them to draw upon successful strategies and practices from other industries, fostering innovation and efficiency.

    Imagine a hospital where doctors chase diagnoses without a shared understanding of patient care. Or a research team chasing cures without a clear vision for a healthier future. This is the reality for many healthcare organizations, where a lack of vision alignment cripples progress and leaves patients behind.The Stat That Shocks Me: Only 29% of leaders excel at communicating and aligning their vision with their teams. Shocking, right?This disconnect isn't just a business buzzword. It's a healthcare crisis. Without a unified vision, resources are wasted, innovation stalls, and ultimately, patients suffer.𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩 29%?↪ Craft a clear, compelling vision: What's the future of healthcare you want to create? Make it tangible, inspiring, and relevant to everyone in your organization.↪ Communicate relentlessly: Don't assume people understand your vision. Share it through every channel, from board meetings to coffee breaks.↪ Empower your team to own it: Equip your team with the tools and resources to translate your vision into action. Celebrate progress, learn from failures, and adapt together.In short, vision without action is a dream, and action without vision is just passing the time. Let's bridge the gap in healthcare leadership and turn vision into action that transforms lives.P.S. What do you think of the healthcare leadership?

    No wonder we are busy. According to VMG recent study "Health System Leader Expectations for 2024 (https://lnkd.in/eyvU_KPk)" our current workload mirrors health system leadership focus. While the survey's findings constitute the core areas of our focus, experience and expertise, it is always nice to have external validation that work we are doing is deemed of top importance. While only the second week of January we are materially contributing to the advancement of: 1. Physician enterprise strategy and execution;2. Service line advancement and partnerships, taking into account a changed market place and players and related physician alignment initiatives; 3. Revenue diversification and growth for established and newly developed entities; and 4. M&A, whether it be strategic planning re: same, due diligence, transactional, or operationalizing. We would love to share our experience and expertise and partner with you as you tackle the above. #Trustworksco
