How do we manage everything?
Some days better than others
Much of our time is spent being reactive and managing tasks/situations/people
Not efficient, fulfilling, or effective
4/5/2017 10
Solution: Stop trying to manage everything and everyone.
Develop your leadership skills and LEAD!

Stress Can Create Difficult Interactions
Difficult, stressful situations often make it difficult to deal with even your favorite people
Fast-paced work environment

Manage your stress to be a better leader

Emotional Intelligence
First brought to wide audience in 1995 by Daniel Goleman
• Applied to business in 1998 HBR article
Most effective leaders have a high degree of emotional intelligence
Not only distinguishes outstanding leaders, but is also linked to strong performance
Goleman, Daniel. What Makes a Leader? 1998. Reprinted, HBR Guide to Managing Up and Across, 2013.

Why does emotional intelligence matter? Able to identify and manage your emotions as well as those around
you
Helps you develop teams who are happier and more productive
Without it you can be seen as insensitive, arrogant, volatile, rigid, and/or selfish
Those who are emotionally intelligent are seen as good listeners and communicators
The best program coordinators I know are incredibly emotionally intelligent

Can emotional intelligence be learned?
There is a genetic component
It increases with age = maturity
Lives in the part of the brain (limbic system) that learns best through motivation, extended practice, and feedback
What should you do?
• Ask for feedback and use it
• Talk through difficult situations with others
• Be more self-aware and reflect
• Don’t just read a book or take a course --- it takes sincere desire and concerted effort

Motivation: The Power of Why
Why? What is your purpose, cause, or belief?
Use your “why” to inspire and motivate yourself and others
What
How
Why

1. Model the Way
Your behavior earns you respect
First, be clear about your own guiding principles
Clarify values by finding your voice – clarify who you are and your core values
4/5/2017 25
Actions speak louder than words Practice what you preach Are you role modeling what you ask of those around
you?

2. Inspire a Shared Vision
The vision is what creates the future
Envision the future by imaging exciting and ennobling possibilities
Enlist others in a common vision by appealing to shared aspirations
4/5/2017 26
Lead projects, teams, committees Seek opportunities for collaboration – work with your
GME office and administrator colleagues Shared aspirations: medical education and patient care

3. Challenge the Process
Leaders are pioneers
Search for opportunities by seizing the initiative and looking outward for innovative ways to improve
4/5/2017 27
Constantly evaluate processes and procedures Don’t just complain…make suggestions Don’t be afraid of change Lead change Come up with ideas and lead the team to implement/fix

4. Enable Others to Act
Leaders foster collaboration by building trust and facilitating relationships
You can’t do it all by yourself
When you strengthen others by increasing self-determination and developing competence, they are more likely to give it their all and exceed their own expectations
4/5/2017 28
Build and use your networks – you are only as strong as
your network Obtain buy-in and collaborate with others Bring out the best in those around you Surround yourself with those who are good at things
that aren’t necessarily your strength

5. Encourage the Heart
Genuine acts of caring draw people forward
Recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individual excellence
Show appreciation for people’s contributions and create a culture of celebrating the values and victories by creating a spirit of community
4/5/2017 29
Birthday cakes, treats, etc. Say thank you Send emails to supervisors (chief residents; program
directors; others) to show appreciation and recognition Check-in with your trainees (show up at conference or
clinic; email; page; etc)
