As a Patient Care Services (PCS) executive team
we believe that leadership performance is critical to mission effectiveness.
We also believe that all staff have leadership potential and will,
therefore demonstrate leadership behaviors in their work. Finally,
we believe that leadership is a skill based upon life's experiences,
knowledge and opportunities for learning.
The Leadership Development Program is one strategy
for promoting staff development. Individuals in formal management
and clinical leadership roles add strength to this initiative by
being present for staff and entering into supportive and/or mentoring
relationships. Finally, peer to peer relationships, based upon mutual
respect and a genuine willingness to be helpful, create an environment
in which learning is fostered.
PCSEC endorses the definition of leadership
as challenging the process, inspiring a vision, enabling others
to act, modeling the way and encouraging the heart. (Kouzes
and Posner, 1995).
The Leadership Development Program is a series
of learning opportunities designed to promote individual and group
learning based on a set of established competencies. Examples include
but are not limited to:
