Healthcare organizations and professionals must be capable of leading value-based competitive organizations. Today’s healthcare environment requires healthcare administrators to shift from a perspective of being a health care provider to being part of a business. The purpose of Felician's Advanced Leadership and Strategies course is to provide the graduate student with the opportunity to develop their strategic leadership perspective and capabilities. This course introduces the components of strategic leadership, emphasizing mission, vision, and values as a cornerstone of strategy formulation. We will look at the practices, techniques, and processes for developing strategy, identifying strategic gaps, issues, and environmental threats and opportunities. We will investigate the roles governance and stakeholders play in strategy formulation; what the organizational structure should look like; leadership and change management. Case studies are used to develop an organizational perspective; to focus on the required leadership skills involved in identifying issues, evaluating options, and implementing plans; and, to provide students with the opportunity to adapt theory to real-life experience.
