Starting a new leadership role in a healthcare organization can feel like entering a moving train—you’re expected to steer it without derailing progress, all while building credibility and navigating an unfamiliar culture. This interactive panel features administrators from Tanner Health System who’ve experienced the highs and lows of joining a new organization. Through candid conversation, real-world scenarios, and audience engagement, panelists will share practical strategies for integrating into established cultures, avoiding early missteps and becoming a trusted part of the team—even when you're delivering tough messages or leading change.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize and navigate common cultural challenges that new leaders face to build trust and credibility quickly.
  • Apply effective communication strategies to deliver difficult messages while maintaining strong relationships and long-term influence.
