You can be the most liked leader or team member in your healthcare organization, but if you can not deliver consistent results on assigned tasks and small projects then you may be overlooking one of the most critical skills to leverage for career advancement. Managing projects is no longer a function designated to a small group of trained and certified professionals, its now a normal part of our daily work as healthcare administrators and requires leaders at all levels to utilize a sound set of management principles, skills, and even technologies. While its normal for healthcare professionals to cringe at the technical elements of project management, you may also be unaware of how valuable formal project management skills are, and this knowledge gap has the potential to be a serious career barrier!
