How Mindfulness Leads to Deeper Strategic Thinking
Chris Charyk

Today’s health care leaders face an increasingly complex and daunting mix of strategic challenges: meeting aggressive growth and profitability targets despite new value-based reimbursements, maintaining and improving quality metrics, and keeping providers and staff engaged, productive, and fully aligned to the organization’s vision.
Not to mention also managing one’s own stress, energy level, and well-being through the tumult.
In the search for tools and approaches to manage these challenges, health care leaders have often turned to leadership research, hoping perhaps that what has been successful for corporate leaders will prove effective in health care as well.

When to Skip a Difficult Conversation
Deborah Grayson Riegel
This article originally appeared on HBR.org
Leaders know that they’ll occasionally need to give tough feedback to their employees, colleagues, and clients. And yet, no matter how skilled or experienced they are at it, most would also do anything to find a way out. As Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton and Sheila Heen explain in their book, Difficult Conversations, this internal struggle is natural: “If we try to avoid the problem, we’ll feel taken advantage of, our feelings will fester . . . and we’ll rob the other person of the opportunity to improve things. But if we confront the problem, we may be rejected or attacked, we might hurt the other person in ways we didn’t intend, and the relationship might suffer.”
