Brain-based Strategies to Improve Team Leadership and Health Care High Reliability

February 14, 2018

High Reliability Organizing (HRO) is an organizational journey that espouses taking up a sobering perspective on organizational dynamics. This approach to understanding reliability focuses on teams and teamwork, in a very unconventional way, where each team within an organization is a microcosm of sorts, each with its own need for a mindful infrastructure that defines its level of teamwork and ultimately, its ability to perform. Central to team performance is the role of the team leader and the shared vulnerability that team leadership has with the team. This webinar, presented by Oren Guttman, MD, MBA, CHSE, CPPS, High Reliability Officer at UT Southwestern, reviews common errors in Team Leadership Cognition and the impact these errors have on team performance, highlighting strategies and tools to rescue and recover from these types of errors.
