Pathway leadership: a mature framework for teams.
Shared Governance has been a successful organizational design for Central Baptist Hospital. We are addressing critical issues that impact our success, with involvement and facilitation of the employees who make up the organization. It will continue to change as our environment and system evolve. The movement from a traditional organizational structure and culture to one of embracing shared decision making gives leaders today an additional stressor. It is difficult to critically analyze your organization when you are faced daily with the external pressures of health care competition and the internal daily pressures of operations. It takes extra effort and introspection to recognize that you and your management team must undertake new and different behaviors to lead your organization into the next millennium. One thing is clear: If you do not create an environment that is flexible and able to accommodate change, your competitor will!
