5 . Vigilant . Wharton Executive Education team states that “ In vigilant companies , leadership attention is leveraged for greater agility and advantage , whereas in vulnerable companies , misdirected attention creates blind spots , myopia and delayed reactions . The challenge for leaders is to deal appropriately with vast amounts of “ regular ” information while strengthening the ability to pay attention .”
6 . Tactical . Being tactical means being productive and more efficient and having relentless focus on getting things done . Significant attention is given to what needs to get done and then accomplishments are celebrated to produce a tactical advantage .
7 . Knowledgeable . Being knowledgeable and knowing how to manage knowledge is important . Across industries , individuals and organizations have a competitive advantage if knowledge and information are disseminated and utilized effectively .
Physician wellness and physician leadership are connected . The better we care for and lead ourselves , the better we can lead the others we care about so much .
