In today’s world of continually changing environments in health care, survival is dependent upon professionals that can adapt and change with that environment. For the career minded technologist there is oftentimes the dilemma of whether or not to continue to work only as a lab technician, or to take what you have observed and learned over the years and develop oneself into a healthcare professional that not only has the technical skills and abilities, but also the wisdom, foresight, and leadership qualities to direct and manage an effective lab environment.
This workshop will explore the critical factors involved in transitioning from bench to management and discuss the four imperatives of motive, vision, planning, and implementation; that give the highest potential for success as a supervisor. Effective and non-effective leadership styles will be reviewed to identify how employees respond to each. A key focus will be on how to effectively motivate workers and the benefits of servant leadership.
