Program Description: 

Traditional leadership theories do not appear to take into account the myriad of interconnected issues faced by large modern healthcare organizations. Complexity Leadership Theory appears a promising model to describe how complex teams analyze and address complex healthcare change issues. My research investigated which complexity leadership functions and practices influence complex team success at a local healthcare program. 

The findings indicate that regardless of management approach (Lean, Process Improvement, PI and/or project management, PM), the complexity leadership practices are used by successful teams. I will share how my Complexity Leadership Framework can contribute to success in managing complex projects in healthcare organizations.
