On-Site LEAD Academy Trains Managers to be Successful
Leaders
LEAD Academy sessions provide an engaging and safe environment to
practice newly learned skills and align work goals and actions to
support the broader vision of your organization.
LEAD Academy cohorts work together for six monthly meetings, a
full day each month, focusing on:
• Self-development
• Supporting the development of others
• Managing and developing a successful organization
When your staff finishes their LEAD Academy cohort, they will:
Improve the performance of the people that report to them
Enhance their contribution to the achievement of your
hospital’s strategic goals
Increase their own self-management skills during every day
and stressful situations
Leadership & Charge Nurse: Creating a Culture of
Safety
“Creating a Culture of Safety” will focus on the role of the
nurse leader in creating and developing a safe atmosphere. This
course will expand on key concepts to help charge nurses improve
customer service, Continuous Survey Readiness (CRS) and response
to critical events. The course will also discuss the key roles of
the charge nurse in developing a “Just Culture” within the unit,
including hourly rounding, debriefing, simulations and effective
communication and feedback.
Critical thinking is central to effective task management and
decision making in high-risk situations. Review how active
assessment and analysis of information helps evaluate and improve
the quality of thinking, and discuss the key principles and
barriers to thinking critically. The course will also focus on
the application of critical thinking through the nursing process
to help staff arrive at the appropriate decision or conclusion.
