Developing Physician Leadership: Utilizing a Framework of Authentic Leadership Theory and an Evidence Based Coaching Approach

Jacqueline Ritacco | 2015

Abstract

Physicians are called to become change agents, lead care teams and health system transformation. Conferred with leadership resulting from expertise, most physicians are not formally trained in leadership nor are they prepared to assume this role. A new coaching model was developed with linkage to Authentic Leadership Theory and training was given to physician leaders to answer the questions of whether this evidence based coaching model is an effective leadership development tool and whether it is likely to be adopted post training. Both Authentic Leadership elements and the COACHES© model were likely to be utilized in whole or in part.
