Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast
Peter Drucker coined this phrase decades ago, but his words still ring true today. You can have the brightest minds in healthcare create flawless strategic plans, but nothing brings those plans to a screeching halt faster than a culture that isn't aligned to support strategy at all levels. In this thought-provoking keynote, Baird identifies the most common culture pitfalls preventing progress. She seamlessly connects culture to employee engagement, patient experience and leadership practices. Baird challenges participants to become the "Keepers of the Culture" by embracing six leadership practices. This session is a powerful, thought-provoking keynote or modified to a tactical, half-day interactive workshop. Coaching for Engagement and Improved Performance Engagement is crucial to a culture of service excellence and accountability. The Coaching for Engagement and Improved Performance Workshop will build participants' ability to identify key engagement behaviors and coach appropriately to keep all employees fully engaged and contributing to the organization's success. This engaging, hands-on, four-hour workshop provides participants with a number of proven tools and strategies targeted at building the skills and capabilities required to engage and retain healthcare employees. Quality Through the Eyes of the Beholder: Turning Moments of Truth into Trust Baird takes her audiences out of the traditional, medical definitions of quality and helps them to see quality through the eyes of their patients and visitors.

What You Permit You Promote What leaders do speaks volumes about accountability. Many healthcare leaders admit that holding people accountable ranks high among their most difficult tasks. By ignoring problem behaviors, leaders erode their own credibility. This inspiring and informational keynote helps leaders take an honest look at what they let slide and how it impacts their team and their reputation as a leader. Baird identifies habitual thought patterns that keep leaders from taking necessary action and identifies steps they can take to foster a culture of accountability. |
