10 to 1 Webinar: 10 Reasons Perioperative Leaders Leave Their Jobs, A Cautionary Tale

Did you know the average lifespan of a Perioperative Leader is 3 years? We will talk about all the things we as senior directors and C-Suite executives may be doing to increase attrition. Sometimes it helps to listen to other people’s challenges to remind us of what we don’t want. The literature is full of ideas on empowerment and morale, but what can we do as Senior Directors and above to support our up-and-coming Perioperative Leaders, and to prevent the loss of critical, talented, and successful leaders? One of the Principles of Leadership listed in the Naval Officer’s Guide is to “know yourself and seek self-improvement.” We are also talented leaders and largely excellent examples of what a leader should be. It isot easy to reflect on our part in losing good people, but sometimes awareness helps to remind us of what we want to avoid, an, if we are fortunate, even learn from other people’s mistakes.
