To Create Results, Leaders Must Take Actions

by Leave a Comment

With deep gratitude to our colleague Vinay Kumar for his work in powerfully training leaders on shifting their IOS: internal operating system to better manage complexity. Vinay and I will be co-facilitating a leadership retreat for healthcare leaders where we will continue our work using the leadership circle profile mat to help them notice reactive thinking and behaviors and shifting those to create cultures focused on well-being and excellence. In this LinkedIn post, he discusses OAR: How we observe, leads to our taking actions which get results. If we want different results, we need to shift how we observe.

National Women Physicians Day

by Leave a Comment

In honor of National Women Physicians Day, SixSEED Partners wanted to remind our readers on those attributes which are important to retain female physicians, including flexibility, respect and equitable advancement opportunities and pay.

Women physicians were found to be at increased risk of burnout due to their lessened ability to decompress when they returned home after work:

“A gender gap was particularly apparent when physicians were surveyed on their ability to decompress when they returned home from work. Female physicians had lower scores than male physicians on all four areas of decompression, including enjoying personal time without worrying about work (females: 3.39; males: 3.61), freeing their mind from work while away (females: 3.22; males: 3.43), disconnecting from work communications (females: 3.20; males: 3.41), and rarely losing sleep over work issues (females: 3.31; males: 3.51).”
