Oak Brook, Illinois, June 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WittKieffer, the premier executive search and leadership advisory firm improving quality of life through impactful leadership, today announced a unique program to expedite time to success for physician leaders taking on new roles. The Accelerating Impact for Physician Leaders solution differentiates itself from other physician leadership training and support in that it is customized to the executive, their specific role, and their organization. In addition to a coaching component, the program features direct mentorship from a highly experienced and proven physician leader.
"Physician leadership is critical in healthcare's current era which prioritizes quality, efficiency, and patient centricity. While many physicians are natural born leaders, they are challenged to transition into increasingly demanding roles and to make an immediate impact upon their teams and organizations. The Accelerating Impact for Physician Leaders solution not only provides the executive with expert, structured learning but also is highly interactive and encourages the leader to invest in themselves to excel in a new role. Our goal is to help physician leaders move from issues to outcomes by providing space for clarity, courage, and connection. The program will serve them well for the future but also benefit them in the here and now," stated Raj Ramachandran, Ed.D., Senior Partner of WittKieffer's Leadership Advisory.
"The M.D.s on WittKieffer's team who help direct the Accelerating Impact for Physician Leaders solution have served as chief medical officers, medical school deans, and in other senior roles and have experienced the challenges and joys of leading at the highest level. They partner with our expert leadership coaches to offer newly hired executives a special opportunity to acclimate to a new position and environment and find immediate success. The benefits and return on investment of this program can't be overstated," noted Michael Anderson, M.D., WittKieffer Principal who also serves as a Senior Advisor to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
