2016 IHA Hospital
Executive Academy
Exceptional Executives:
Preparing Future Hospital Leaders
Preparing for success means
preparing for succession
Overview America’s hospitals are experiencing
graying of the C-suite. As long-time leaders retire, there will be an influx
of new leaders, many of whom have clinical or financial backgrounds
and did not follow the typical hospital administration progression from
days gone by. Purposeful succession planning is imperative to prevent
loss of institutional knowledge and drive ongoing high performance in
your organization.
The next generation of executives is at work in Iowa hospitals, yet
are these emerging leaders, managers, directors and mid-careerists
ready to lead in your organization? The IHA Hospital Executive
Academy Exceptional Executives: Preparing Future Hospital Leaders
is a selective program designed to assist your hospital in identifying
and equipping this next generation of senior leaders. Candidates are
chosen by their hospital’s CEO and assigned a mentor from within their
hospital.
Through the IHA Hospital Executive Academy and its valuable
combination of experienced, knowledgeable faculty, relevant
information, project-based learning and one-on-one mentoring, you can
take the next step in preparing your most promising employees – and
your hospital – for continued achievement and excellence. In addition
to learning essential skills that set great leaders apart, each candidate
will complete a hospital project and present a project poster at the
conclusion of the program.

Facing Our Current Reality: The Need for Radical
Leadership
Virginia R. Beeson, Captain, Navy Nurse Corps, Ret., and
Principal, Ginny Beeson & Associates, Arlington, VA
The health care world today is going through rapid and
tumultuous changes. It seems like every day there are new
rules, regulations, policies and mandates; the demand for
health care services is growing while there are shortages
in many specialties. Technology and financial issues are
playing a bigger role in day-to-day decisions; customer
service and patient safety issues are receiving widespread
national and media attention. In these challenging times,
it isn’t enough for leaders to be excellent clinically; they
must also be skillful in leadership, creating a positive and
professional work environment where quality and safety are
paramount.
• Describe three significant challenges facing health care
leaders in the future.
• Define what is meant by “radical leadership.”
