In a world of diminishing resources (people, capital and natural), where we are being asked to do more with less, the need for managers to have a multiplier impact has never been greater.  Managers must operate at a much, much higher level, motivating and enabling everyone around them to do the same.

 

I am especially interested in how clinicians transition into management.  I know it can feel like a chasm separated by a tight rope without a net; when one foot wrong feels like the end of life as we know it!  All the professional development and mentoring programs I deliver are aimed to provide this net.  These programs cover a range of skills sets and mindsets; based on contemporary thinking and grounded in reality.  But one thing that constantly worries me is that the people who undertake these programs go away with a plan of action, all fired up to make a difference, and get back to work only to find that the reality is like a wet blanket, snuffing out any spark of inspiration that was ignited!  

The mantra for the Australian Academy of Clinical Leadership (through which I now deliver all my clinical leadership programs) is "making a difference" and that is what I want every one of my programs to do for the people who undertake them.  

So, I have designed a new Diploma of Management specifically for clinicians who are making the transition into management, which I plan to launch at the beginning of 2015.  But I want to make sure it will make a difference, not only to the individuals but for their organisations.  I want to know that it is pitched at the right level and skills to enable managers to respond to the challenges they now face in health, aged and community care.

To make sure it absolutely meets your needs and addresses the real issues that clinical managers are facing, I invite you to provide your feedback on the program by 14 October 2014. I really appreciate your time and experience and I hope that the consultation paper I prepared for you will be informative and also help you frame your feedback.  Click here to access it.
