President’s message
Is leadership overrated?
Coach's corner
Understanding and managing
resistance to change
Every leader leads change at some point. Change is essential and
inevitable; it leads to progress and unlocks possibilities. However, change
is rarely accepted readily. In fact, the gatekeepers of change are the
people involved, and people naturally resist change. The goal is not to
eliminate resistance, but to expect and plan for it.
SMA supports development and accreditation of
physician leaders
The SMA Board of Directors recognized
the need to develop physician
leaders a number of years ago and has
embarked on an active program to provide
leadership in the quality improvement
and system transformation
necessary for patient-centred care.
Risk management is in the details
In the CSPE’s March 2010 newsletter,
Dr. Tardif used a great sports
analogy, “Teams whose forwards constantly
criticize their defense never win
the cup.” His comparison to physicians
criticizing managers is equally applicable
to executives who ignore their
risk managers.
