How did you progress to
your current leadership position?
|
Consultant > Academic
appointment > hospital administrator
Moving between companies
|
What are ways that you
motivate and inspire your team? Please
identify what type of team you are referring to (i.e. your direct reports at
work, a committee, a different organization you are part of).
|
I want my team to be as
satisfied with their work as I am. I
strive to supply them with the tools and training that they need to be
successful. I also (with my Director)
work to mix their duties to include some ‘production’ (monthly/quarterly
dashboards and scorecards) with some data mining and discovery work.
|
How do you select a
mentor? What traits do you look for?
|
I am not sure I ever
actually ‘selected’ a mentor per se. I
draw mentorship from a variety of sources and look for people that are
successful in their careers who have a life/work balance.
|
What professional
organizations are you associated with?
Has your participation in these organizations enhanced your leadership
capabilities? If so, how?
|
AHIMA, American Statistical
Association, HFMA
I believe my service on the
AHIMA Board of Directors and leadership positions on committees and practice
councils has helped me further develop my leadership skills.
|
What advice would you give
someone aspiring to be a leader?
|
Look for
opportunities! As I travel around the
country talking to HIM professionals, I hear many say ‘no one asks me to
participate’, ‘no one invites me to meetings for leaders’… sometimes you have
to look outside of your comfort zone to become recognized for your expertise
and leadership. High performers are
noticed and often tapped to work on critical projects in addition to their
day-to-day work. It is worth the time
and effort to take advantage of those opportunities; step up in a meeting and
volunteer!
