The series kicked off with a webinar featuring a panel Q&A session on the trials and tribulations of implementing a leadership training program in a health system setting, which is now available in an on-demand archive: “Leadership Programs in Healthcare; a Panel Q&A Session.” Moderated by Patrick Veroneau, founder of Emery Leadership Group, the webinar featured a discussion between Barbara Monegan, director of talent management and organization development at Christiana Care Health Systems, and Ben Quintana, program manager for leadership development at St. Luke’s Health System, on success and program measurement as well as business impact goals related to leadership training.
