Wrong questions when promoting from within:

When you need a supervisor for a team of engineers, the question isn’t, “Is this potential supervisor a good engineer?”

Beware the right answer to the wrong question.

“Yes, this person is doing a great job in their role as an engineer. Let’s promote them to supervisor.”

The healthcare workforce represents one of hospitals’ biggest costs and affects every aspect of the organization, from the quality of patient care to the hospital’s bottom line. With such high stakes amid the transition to value-based care, leaders must ramp up recruiting and retention strategies while mitigating the effects of the nationwide staffing shortage.

At AMN Healthcare 2016 Workforce Summit in San Diego, Scott Becker, publisher of Becker’s Hospital Review, moderated a panel discussion with four health system finance executives on the top staffing challenges they are seeing in their organizations.

Panelists included Gary Raju, CFO of St. Louis-based Mercy Health System of Oklahoma; Chip Neuman, CFO of Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, Calif.; and Brian Scott, CFO, chief administrative officer and treasurer of AMN Healthcare.

Here are three of the most interesting takeaways from the panel.

feedback

Recently a manager, who I will call Robert, expressed his desire to know if he could do more to let the people in his department know how deeply he appreciated how hard they work and the quality of their work. He wondered if he could do more to let them know this. He also wondered, in general, how he came across as a leader.

Was he approachable?

Could he be doing more to keep morale high?

In future articles, I’ll focus on how to broach harder areas of feedback in a way that makes it more likely you will get honest, actionable feedback. For now, though, let’s talk about how to get started.
