Sammanfattning
Intensive courses and group coaching sessions strengthen managers, doctors and medical students in their role as leaders. A new doctoral thesis from Karolinska Institutet evaluates two of the most common methods of leadership development in the Swedish healthcare services. The results suggest that long-term leadership development groups can enhance managers’ perception of structure in their leadership role, support leadership development within their organizational context, reduce negative informal hierarchies, expose gender aspects in an organisation, facilitate the establishment of a learning organisation, and improve the working environment. Intensive courses improve participants’ self-awareness and understanding of the importance of their own leadership, and support learning as regards group dynamics, development and communication. Intensive leadership courses should be made available as a first step to current and future healthcare leaders. They should then be followed by group coaching sessions over a longer period to support the participants’ leadership skills in their day-to-day work.
