Disruptive Physician Coaching

Due to the nature of the work, even some of the most organized health care institutions cannot avoid turning into a high-stress work environment. Physicians are especially at risk of feeling overburdened and then acting out in an unproductive or even detrimental manner; administrators may not always feel equipped to handle an unruly or disruptive physician. The Institute for Medical Leadership understands the many challenges you face, and offers a Physician Leadership Training for disruptive physicians to aid in keeping your organization running smoothly during your most difficult periods.

Disruptive behavior can manifest in several ways. Passive aggressive behavior can begin with physicians not returning phone calls or turning in required paperwork. You may see subtle signs in a physician’s body language when taking criticism or feedback. Overt behavior, like losing their temper or yelling in public – even in front of patients – can immediately change the dynamic of the work environment. Letting such issues get out of hand can severely affect the physician’s personal performance, but more importantly the performance of those around them, resulting in a significant negative effect on your entire medical institution.

The Institute for Medical Leadership advocates Disruptive Physician Coaching that educates physicians about appropriate workplace behavior and how their attitude and conduct directly relate to their own performance and the wellbeing of those around them. The program seeks to identify and correct any triggers of the disruptive behavior. It also provides effective strategies to identify and manage stress, improve communication skills, encourage social awareness and aid in judgment. Through these two approaches you will see an immediate and marked improvement in the physician’s behavior as well as an overall improvement of morale and workplace atmosphere.
