GLMS WELCOMES PHYSICIANS TO ITS
ANNUAL INTERACTIVE LEADERSHIP COURSE
The 2014 GLMS Leadership Course brought 50 physicians together
for an energetic morning of learning and team based exercises at
The Old Medical School Building on Oct. 11.
The four-hour course was anchored by Steve Coats, a professional
speaker and co-founder of International Leadership Associates, a
Cincinnati-based leadership education and consulting firm. Coats
encouraged the diverse group of physicians to analyze what makes
a team effective and ineffective.
Relaying that there was more pressure on physicians than ever,
Coats likened the modern health care environment to white water
rafting. “Where’s the placid little stream we’ve come to expect?”
he asked.
Coats focused on collaboration and accountability while urging
physicians in attendance to be more selfless and understanding
when working with members of their respective teams. “You are
in an industry that needs more leadership everywhere,” he said.
The 2014 GLMS Leadership Course was sponsored in part by Stock
Yards Bank & Trust with additional support provided by the GLMS
Foundation.
