First Graduates of the Randolph Leadership Academy

    ASHEBORO - Congratulations to the graduates of the first “Randolph Leadership Academy”. Twenty-four leaders throughout the Randolph Health system participated in an eight month program from December 2016 through July 2017.

 So what is the Randolph Leadership Academy?

     The purpose of the program is to develop leaders throughout the Randolph Health system, in order to strengthen the organization for the important work of providing quality healthcare and fostering health and wellness in the communities we serve.

     Participants met monthly or bi-monthly to explore a variety of leadership development topics that centered on three themes: Leading Self, Leading Others and Leading the Organization. Specific topics included: conflict management, delegation, navigating change and becoming more influential.

     Workshops provided a mix of content, experiential exercises, rich discussions, group work and skill-building practice. Between workshops, participants completed follow-up assignments, worked on goals they had set for themselves, and met with peer learning circles to embed new knowledge and skills into their daily leadership practice.

     This program represents a significant investment of time, energy and resources on the part of Randolph Health. Investing in staff and providing continual learning opportunities ensures that staff has the necessary tools and skills to provide an exceptional experience everyday to every patient. The work of leadership development is ongoing, as another Leadership Academy class with 25 participants from all areas of the health system will begin later this month.
