A few times a year I work at the Publications booth at JCR conferences and I am always asked which books on the table contain more information about the Leadership standards. Those of you interested in more guidance on this topic will be happy to know that The Joint Commission recently published a free white paper titled, “Leadership in Healthcare Organizations: A Guide to Joint Commission Leadership Standards.”
Some common questions about the leadership requirements include the following:
• Who are the ‘leaders’ in healthcare organizations?
• What is ‘good leadership’ in healthcare organizations?
• What is the success that healthcare leadership should strive toward?
These are the types of questions that The Joint Commission Leadership standards attempt to answer and are the focus of this white paper. Paul Schyve, M.D., senior vice president at The Joint Commission, wrote this paper and made sure it addressed such important components as leaders and systems; what leaders do; leadership structure; leadership relationships; hospital culture and system performance; and leadership operations. This comprehensive monograph is easy to download from the Web link provided above and could serve as an additional guide to the leadership standards. It’s worth checking out when you have time!

I believe that most people want to do a good job. So, the question is why don't they? Most people will embrace change, SO why don't they? Most people given the same information will come to a similar conclusion, so why is agreement so difficult? Everybody wants to be treated like a somebody, so what happens when you are treated like a nobody? and finally everyone needs a coach...so get one. Page 22 speaks to behaviors. People get hired for Knowledge and Skills, they get into trouble for Attitudes and Habits.
Hospitals need healing themselves...become the product of theproduct!
