  6. Technical Work • Addresses problems for which the definition is clear, the potential solutions are reasonably clear, and usually require little or minimal learning • Responsibility for implementing a solution is reasonably clear between leaders and followers.

  7. Adaptive Work • Addresses problems that require a change in attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors • Involves shared responsibility for change: leaders share responsibility with organizational staff and key stakeholders.

  8. The Work of Adaptive Change • Determining the direction – what must change • Determining the methods - how to change

  9. Most Common Leadership Error • Treating an adaptive problem as technical

  10. Create and Sustain Executive Partnership • Create a compelling case for participation • (4 Es) • Design structures and processes to support involvement • (meeting time, place, process) • Discuss potential barriers to effectiveness (awareness, agreement, ambiguity, ability) • Identify facilitators unique to your executive and leverage them

  11. Executive Partnership: Impact and Influence Executive partnership leverages four main functions of leadership to improve patient safety locally and globally: • Information search (staff safety assessment, executive safety rounds) • Problem solving (learning from defects) • Managing material resources (business case, pay for performance, public reporting) • Managing personnel resources (patient and employee satisfaction) Fleischman et al., 1991

  12. Is everyone clear on the goals, timelines, and mission? Is the necessary structure in place – people, roles, authority and responsibility? Are decision making, problem solving and conflict management processes clear? Are material resources in place – space, equipment, people, budgets? Are financial tracking mechanisms in place (CMS P4P implications) Leading Change:The Amazing Race to Eliminate VAP

  13. Action Items for Senior Leaders • Make certain an executive is assigned to each participating unit and meets regularly as a member of the project team . • let the staff know senior leaders are invested and will work as hard as they do to make it a success. • Set clear project goals and expectations for the leaders and staff in participating. • Provide opportunities for project teams to meet with senior leaders and the board to discuss the project • Provide the necessary resources – time to work on the Project, funds for travel, training, equipment, supplies, etc.

  14. Action Items for Senior Leaders 4. Support transparent communication • VAP rates • Process barriers and successes • Tell your own of a patient who suffered a VAP at your organization 5. Expect resistance and be prepared to address it 6. Celebrate wins and provide encouragement, support, attention, and resources if there are set backs.
