Recorded on March 4, 2015 4:00PM – 5:30PM ET | Listen to the Webinar Recording
A roundtable discussion featuring recognized leaders for change...
With the impending departure of the baby boomer generation from the workforce and the anticipated retirement of senior leaders who delayed departure in the face of the economy, healthcare faces a significant shortage of experienced and qualified leaders. Today, women make up the majority of the workforce in healthcare organizations, but are a largely untapped resource for leadership positions. Heightened awareness to demographic mix and gender diversity issues is critical.
This 90-minute webinar defines the barriers and challenges, issues and development options, and provides a framework for action. A panel of pharmacy leaders will address recent research and the practical, everyday implications of the issues, including:
- nature of the leadership gender sea change
- snapshot of the impact and implications of the demographic patterns
- succession planning and development programs for emerging leadership for women
- effective recruitment, retention, and relationship issues, and
- gender style differences and leadership authenticity.
Join us to explore critical issues and learn how to integrate the concept of a Knowledge Café as a vehicle for idea sharing, sense-making and consensus building will provide a framework for community discussion within your workplace or professional association.
