The objective of Leading Adaptive Teams in Healthcare Organizations is to provide specific frameworks, models, and skills that can guide healthcare leaders as they engage their teams in navigating an increasingly complex and uncertain environment. Topics such as creating a learning mindset, developing psychological safety, and creating a sense of ownership and mutual accountability are explored, and each chapter concludes with reflective questions for the reader to consider and potentially act on. The emphasis here is squarely on teams and the leader’s role in leveraging
collaborative group process to drive better patient outcomes. Because of the high level of complexity today’s healthcare organizations operate in, we believe new frameworks and models are needed; this book is our attempt to contribute to this ongoing dialogue and body of knowledge.
