Faculty are the most valuable resource for an academic department to achieve its mission. Creating a culture to retain talented colleagues is one of the most important responsibilities of leaders. It can take years for a division and department to recover after losing a valuable faculty member. The Child Health Advisory Council (CHAC), a group of seasoned pediatric leaders, discuss their experience in retaining colleagues and the costs of failing to do so.
Overview: In this Pediatric Insight Conversation, the Child Health Advisory council tackles a crucial conversation of effectively guiding Internal Candidates through the leadership search committee process. While your efforts will literally affect one faculty member, the experiences of the one will be a window for all faculty into how you value and manage the careers of emerging leaders. The resulting faculty observations and opinions will definitively impact your retention efforts, for good or bad!
Listen to what the Child Health Advisory Council™ has to say about the definition of a diverse search, preparation, selection process for best outcomes, candidate pool development, establishing purpose and metrics, executive firm expectations and more.
