Event Location: Virtual
The West Virginia University Master of Health Administration program is partnering with WVU Medicine to host a virtual Administrative Grand Rounds, “Fearless Leadership in Pandemic Times,” on Tuesday, Nov. 17, from noon to 1 p.m.
Presented by Erik Carlton, DrPH, associate dean for professional programs and MHA program director in the School of Public Health, the session will focus on three key components that have a significant effect on personal and organizational performance: fear, power, and control.
“While fear, power, and control have always operated, often silently, within organizations, the stresses and strains of this pandemic have brought them to the forefront,” Carlton said. “The unconscious damage to individuals and organizations that these cause can be recognized and overcome. Through a critical internal inquiry we can create a more ‘fear-less’ healthcare enterprise.”
This will be the first of an ongoing Administrative Grand Rounds series hosted by the School of Public Health MHA program, which will feature a variety of speakers, topics, and partners throughout the year.
“We’re grateful to be able to partner with WVU Medicine on this inaugural event, which we expect to become a signature event for healthcare leaders, providers, educators and students,” Carton said. “Moving forward, we will host these regularly and look forward to partnering with other healthcare organizations through the state and region as we do so.”
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. The event is free and open to the public and registration is required. An informational flyer can be downloaded here.
