| Contents | Walking the leadership tightrope. Effective leaders must learn how to be empathetic, supportive bosses while influencing staff members to make necessary and often difficult changes -- Four ways to get a grip. Better time management, improved concentration and breakthrough communication with problem co-workers can go a long way toward reducing stress. Here's how to do it -- Inviting the soul to work. Many employees choose to work in a hospital because they want to make a difference. Use that motivation to energize and inspire them -- How do you say thanks? The single greatest motivator of employees is appreciation. Use it genuinely and frequently, and you'll see performance improve -- Healing a troubled relationship. If two team members are at odds with each other, wasting time and sapping energy from the group, insist that they sit down and talk it out -- The meeting meter. Have staff members evaluate meetings at their end so you can run future meetings more efficiently -- E-mail etiquette. E-mail can save valuable time and greatly improve efficiency, but misusing it causes interpersonal problems that drain everyone's energy and time -- Starts with me. Give employees permission to stop problem behavior among colleagues as soon as it starts -- Healthy respect. An acknowledgment of the essential dignity of all, healthy respect can transform a contentious environment into a healing one -- The management coach. Leaders who effectively develop their managers enhance the organization, improve their own performance and ease their burden -- A five-point plan for breakthroughs. Executives need to lead with courage and example if they are going to overcome entrenched mind-sets. |
