It’s important that health care leaders be able to clearly articulate policy positions and recommendations and garner buy in and support from stakeholder groups for policy and practice changes in their organizations. Unfortunately, effective communication is often lacking. Consequently, it’s important for health care leaders, when leading change, to ensure that clear and open communication is ongoing and informative.
An important aspect of change leadership is the ability to address diverse groups of stakeholders and create buy in and support for your ideas and proposals for change. This assessment provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate and hone these skills.
