Additional Leadership Services

Strategic Planning Facilitation

Q. Have you developed your plan but recognize the managers and employees don’t know their part in bringing it to fruition?

We provide a concise, fast track process which sparks innovation, focuses expertise and promotes ownership throughout the organization for behaviors necessary to “roll up” into the success of the overall plan.

Situation: An organization struggled with how the strategic plan translated into departmentally based goals.

HCR intervention: Group coaching was provided to articulate department goals with managers, and demonstrate connectivity with the system’s strategic priorities.

Outcome: Goals were decentralized to each manager, producing unit ownership to goals that contributed to overall organizational effectiveness.

Crafting Operational Execution Plans

Q. Have you wished managers would work better together to achieve an outcome that relies heavily on their teamwork?

We help make projects happen, turning an idea into a tangible product, turning a talented group of individuals into team players or developing day to day tactics necessary to realize project success. For healthcare organizations seeking breakthrough profitability, click here.

Situation: Two departments were blended together into one organization with managers representing two different organizations and cultures. The imperative was to create a “well oiled” team that would decrease accounts receivable significantly even during this time of transition.

HCR Intervention: Through an organizational development intervention, HCR coached both managers through the transition, and worked directly with the new team as requested by the manager in team building techniques.

Outcome: The team achieved significant reductions in accounts receivable, working together, and better understanding each others roles and styles.

Leadership Mentoring for Leaders

Q. I am the executive of my company and know I need some assistance to sort through transition issues, but am leery of asking just anyone for help- I know I need some assistance, but am unsure about the term coaching.

We help newly promoted leaders, new to an organization, new to project leadership or seasoned executives who need temporary focused partnership to solve a company problem to achieve success on their terms. Incorporating the coach approach into a mentoring partnership, executives are able to frame the request for help as a strength. We will help implement a mentoring program within your organization to increase the internal resources to strengthen leadership skills.

Situation: An executive in a health care company was faced with some difficult decisions regarding his team, his relationship with his superior, and his change management effort that he was about to embark on. There were no “trusted” and “safe” resources available to him in his company, and he sought out the services of HCR Consulting.

HCR Intervention: Through a long term partnership with the executive and the HCR leadership coach, he was able to receive coaching and mentoring on a plethora of issues that came up over time. Knowing that this part cheerleader, part sounding board was available, he thought was invaluable. Establishing a trusted coaching partnership allowed him to receive ideas, support, feedback, and acknowledgement; something that had been previously most difficult to find.

Outcome: The quality of his decisions improved, and the confidence with which he led his team increased. The team experienced more decisiveness in his approach, and their satisfaction increased.

Management or Project Consultation

Q. Have you noticed that leaders are often put in charge of committees/projects with a responsibility to get it done, but with no direct authority over the team members?

We help project leaders effectively manage project through strengthening their leadership skills for getting results through people. We work with project leaders who need the political savvy and “systems sense” to get the desired outcome, without being “in charge” of the employees that comprise their project team.

Situation: An organization was noticing delays in billing resulting in delayed cash flow, and at times lost claims.

HCR Intervention: Leadership coaching with the clinical and administrative areas’ team leaders, combined with a facilitated cross functional CQI team process, assisted the team to achieve the outcome.

Outcome: Significant reduction in billing errors resulting in improved cash flow, with reduced employee time and frustration.

Leadership Customized Coaching Clinic

Coaching is not an isolated competency, but an aggregation of competencies, that, together create a skilled leader who creates partnerships with employees to help them solve problems and make the most of opportunities. Unlike a traditional bureaucratic approach to leadership where the manager tells the employee the correct thing to do, the manager seizes as many coachable moments as possible to continuously develop the employees to find their own answers and leverage situations to achieve more optimal outcomes. This skill is best taught in a clinic setting where preference is set on practice vs. lecture. This clinic is delivered according to the time tested Corporate Coach University Coaching Clinic format. Delivered over two days, or four half day sessions. The clinic is a companion to your companies’ leadership development initiatives, can be customized to your mission critical values, and is a key element to holding accountability for quality and cost outcomes, and becoming effective at managing diverse employee groups.

Human Capital Planning and Development

Healthcare Values: Patients First

Tell me more

Q. Where is your organization? Is it where you want it to be? (If you are not a healthcare organization, click here)

Healthcare Values:Patients First™ is a behavioral competency development and management program developed by White and White, (2003) which guarantees organization’s total alignment based on 3-5 behaviorally defined values, most critical to the specific organization’s success. The product provides your organization with a permanent Quality/HR infrastructure, supporting optimal customer loyalty, world class employee engagement and a patient first approach, minimizing medical errors and care/service variations while optimizing performance outcomes.

It all starts with a desire for a better future than the present now holds. If you are a health care organization who:

  • regrettable turnover of employees and management
  • dropping patient satisfaction
  • a new team ripe to build reputation fast
  • an existing leadership team who needs a fast track solution, but has tried “everything”

Then it is time for the Health Care Values: Patients First Solution.

We help health care organizations identify the top 3-5 mission critical values, align them with the strategic plan, crystallize behavioral competencies that reflect the values, and integrate them into a human resources super infrastructure for lasting change.

And we do it with you , not for you, with your internal resources, not instead of them, that you OWN, at an unusually affordable price. This spells value for more than the CFO.

Situation: An health care professional practice was unhappy with the behaviors of new hires, including limited productivity, and was stymied about how to help hiring managers select employees that reflected the values that the executives desired.

HCR intervention: Through a facilitated internal process, the leadership team brainstormed on what the mission critical values were for the organization, and found that they were in more agreement than they thought. They incorporated these into their hiring and performance appraisal process, and have begun leadership development to increase their skill in holding accountability.

Outcome: Hiring is more in line with executive values, satisfaction has improved, and productivity variances are more easily addressed.

Healthcare Leadership Coaching

“If coaching in the workplace didn’t exist, we’d need to invent it.” Cheryl Smith, Director of Coaching Clinic Programs, for Corporate Coach University
Coaching defined by Corporate Coach U is the process of equipping people with the tools, knowledge and opportunities they need to achieve effectiveness in their commitment to themselves, the organization and their work. Coaching is fast becoming the tool of choice for executives seeking significant personal and organizational success.

The ROI is irrefutable; Users of coaching services concluded that the “average return on investment for coaching= 5.7 times the investment” (Manchester Study 2004)

  • Executive Coaching using the Lighthouse Coaching Model (leadership mentoring using the coach-approach) program from assessment to goal achievement in alignment with organizational strategic plan (automatically included in HCV:Patients First program)

  • Bookend Coaching (Receive the support you need before and after your big event, meeting, or appointment. Your coach will be available to go over last minute details or strategies beforehand, and will help you and celebrate the outcome immediately afterwards.)
  • Group Coaching - Group coaching is available to individuals within the same organization as well as those from others organizations. Provided all group coaching participants share common developmental goals, they may benefit from the insights of both the coach and the group through telecoaching sessions.
  • Team Coaching program from assessment to goal achievement in alignment with organizational strategic plan- transforming a team of talented individuals into a group of team players (included in MCV program for implementation team)

Q. I have a new leader who is has a lot of potential, but has not had the experience leading and managing people. I don’t want to offend by telling the individual that I want them to engage in coaching.

Situation: A manager was promoted to leading her unit, after having been a peer. She was solidly strong on the technical aspects of the unit, and was well liked, but was unsure about how to implement changes, and hold accountability.

LPSI intervention: By offering coaching as a routine part of new manager acclimation the manager was able to fully engage in the process over an 8 month period.

Outcome: The manager learned to install policy, hold accountability, develop a new orientation program, and plan for work expansion, and handle it successfully, with renewed confidence.

Fear Fifty No More: Fear Transformation Tactics for Mid-Life

Take the Fifties Fitness Test, and learn what your “score” is. Some of the questions address the very core of what scares mid-lifers in their tracks i.e., Can you say no and feel good? Can you state what you need, get your need met, and not feel guilty? Can you say who you are, not just what you do? Is your life designed around the values you hold dear? Does everyone come first before, or after you?

The objective of this workshop is to help mid-lifers, at risk for high stress, and for potential feelings of disenfranchisement from their families, careers and ultimately themselves, to transform fear into peace, connectedness and renewal.

"As we all get older, I believe it becomes easier to look at the rest of our lives instead of just the next 12 months. It becomes easier, and even exciting, to embrace the 20, 40 or even 60 years we have left on this earth by asking ourselves "Hey, what's so important to me that I want it for the rest of my life?" Or, "What have I had enough of in my lifetime that I'm ready to move on from, for the rest of my life?"

(Thomas Leonard, Founder, Coach University, International Coach Federation and Coachville.com)
