Caring, effective leadership is essential for addressing physician and advanced practitioner stress and burnout. Leadership conversations and setting a positive example of well being can dramatically impact a healthcare organization's culture.

Ways Physician Leaders can Build a Strong Culture of Well Being

One of the most significant ways leaders can support their physicians is to do their part to create a positive culture of well being. It is important for leaders to be able to acknowledge physician burnout. Leaders should also advocate for their physicians and advanced practitioners to build a framework for a culture of well being. Leadership needs to make professional well being a core priority in their organization. This can be accomplished by establishing well being as a key leadership responsibility. In addition, including well being in an annual strategic plan can make a big impact. 

There are a variety of solutions physician leaders can implement to create an environment to support physician well being and grow a culture of resilience. For example, leaders can tailor their leadership style by implementing a more collaborative and team-centered physician leadership approach. The ability to shift from the traditional “command and control” form of leadership to leading through influence instead of by authority, can have a positive influence on your healthcare organization. Another solution includes advocating for a strong leadership development program. By doing so, an organization can help physician leaders become more effective leaders, build teamwork and drive innovation in healthcare.
