"We focus on timeless principles to develop trusted leaders at the intersection of clinical and operational excellence." - CHARLES W. SORENSON, MD, FACS PRESIDENT AND CEO EMERITUS, INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE FOUNDING DIRECTOR, INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE Why This Program Many not-for-profit and academic health systems provide excellent leadership training for their key executives focusing on strategy, innovation, finances, corporate restructuring, improving revenue cycle and supply chain operations, mergers and acquisitions, clinician burn-out, social determinants of health, and so on. All of those competencies are important, which begs the questions: how is the Leadership Institute different and why should you attend? The short answer is we focus on the critical competency of leadership itself. That is, how to become a more effective and trusted leader who will create positive, significant, and lasting change in your organization and in healthcare generally. Furthermore, we do so in a manner that cannot be duplicated in an in-house course. The Intermountain Healthcare Leadership Institute is designed to supplement, not compete with, leadership programs at your institution. What Makes Our Program Unique: The Faculty Participants learn from, and interact with, thought leaders and master teachers from Harvard Business School, Notre Dame, University of Michigan, and other respected institutions who bring diverse and inspiring perspectives to virtual instruction, discussions, and small group exercises. Some of our faculty are published authors, many are well-known nationally, several have won numerous national awards, others have led successful, highly complex healthcare organizations, all are recognized experts in their specialties, and each one is committed to the values that drive this Institute. See the faculty page for additional information. The Participants Themselves/Ongoing Learning The program is designed for mid-career, experienced and well-regarded health system leaders who possess the potential to make significant positive impacts on their organization's culture, strategy, and clinical and cost outcomes. There is no substitute for interacting with other clinical and administrative leaders from highly respected healthcare institutions around the country and abroad in candid, safe, and invigorating environment. Many participants tell us they gain nearly as much from one another as they do from the formal classwork. We encourage and facilitate ongoing learning and connections through a quarterly newsletter, and robust alumni program, including special alumni reunion events, the next of which will be held in September 2022. A Highly Immersive, Interactive, Learning Environment We place a heavy emphasis on interactive virtual instruction, case-study discussion, small-group learning and problem solving, shared learning, individual assignments, and reflection all supplemented by robust coaching opportunities. the program creates an environment of collaborative learning, simulation, reflection, and imagination and includes wellbeing practices to support holistic and sustainable leadership. The Curriculum We focus on timeless principles, the competencies and personal attributes that are core to trusted leadership. These principles are vital, particularly as we navigate the complex intersection of clinical and operational excellence. Key competencies include establishing a compelling vision, fostering psychological safety, and unifying divergent stakeholders. These competencies are built upon key attributes such as integrity, empathy, humility, resilience, optimism, and others. We provide multi-rater (360°) and personal assessment tools to help participants understand their areas of strength as well as identify where they can improve. Leaders of the Institute are available for consultation, coaching, and mentoring during and after the cohort. See a more detailed description of the course curriculum.
