Across healthcare, leadership gaps are consistently linked to some of the most severe and preventable failures in patient care. When leadership is absent, disengaged, or underdeveloped, the entire system suffers.

Staff may be unclear on expectations. Policies may exist but go unenforced. And when people don’t feel psychologically safe, they’re less likely to report concerns, escalate near misses, or share feedback that could prevent future harm.

These aren’t abstract issues; they’re measurable. From Mid Staffordshire in the UK to overlooked incidents across U.S. hospitals, the consequences of poor leadership are well-documented: unchecked risk, rising turnover, and declining trust among both staff and patients.

But the good news? Leadership is a skill that can be improved. And culture is changeable.

In this webinar, healthcare leadership coach Jarvis T. Gray, FACHE, draws a clear connection between effective leadership and safer outcomes. He explains why technical competence alone isn’t enough, and how emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and transparent communication must be central to any healthcare leadership development effort.

You’ll learn how forward-thinking healthcare organizations are using leadership as a lever to drive better performance across every metric, from quality scores to engagement and retention.

You’ll also gain insight into:

• Strengths-based leadership development: Tools like CliftonStrengths help leaders identify their natural talents, manage under stress, and work more effectively within teams
• Bias awareness and cultural humility: Inclusive leadership is a commitment to reducing microaggressions, equity gaps, and communication barriers that can erode trust
• KPI-aligned leadership goals: High-performing organizations are measuring leadership effectiveness using safety data (like incident follow-up and rounding rates), HR trends, and engagement surveys
• Structured support systems: From peer-led coaching circles to strategic huddles, the best teams create space for meaningful feedback, reflection, and growth

By understanding how leadership directly shapes safety culture in healthcare, you’ll leave with a stronger sense of what’s possible—and how to take action.

In healthcare, leadership can’t be treated as an afterthought. It’s not a soft skill. It’s a safety skill.

And contrary to popular belief, building a strong healthcare leadership culture doesn’t have to mean launching a massive new program. Sometimes, it starts with one simple question: “Do our people feel safe speaking up?”

This webinar gives you the frameworks, strategies, and metrics to answer that question—and improve the answer over time.

You’ll learn how to:

• Align leadership development with actual risk areas
• Empower managers and directors to lead daily safety efforts through modeling, coaching, and open communication
• Build systems for accountability that are transparent, fair, and easy to track
• Incorporate leadership KPIs into scorecards and safety dashboards, so progress is visible and celebrated

You’ll also walk away with examples of simple, effective practices such as daily debriefs, strength-based coaching, and rounding logs, that can be implemented immediately, even with limited resources.

Ultimately, this webinar helps you reframe leadership as an active, measurable component of care quality. Because when leaders are engaged, visible, and supported, teams thrive—and patients are safer.

Watch the recording today and take the first step toward building a healthcare leadership culture that drives trust, safety, and lasting improvement.

You can’t lead on safety if you don’t know what’s happening.
