Abstract

Telephone calls, meetings, and negotiations are integral parts of every executive’s workday — indeed, nearly everyone’s entire day. Presented here are three simple tools that, if mastered, should improve outcomes as well as the core competencies of communication, management, innovation, and leadership.

LEADERSHIP IS LEARNED

For over 50 years.

The American Association for Physician Leadership has helped physicians develop their leadership skills through education, career development, thought leadership and community building.

The American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) changed its name from the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE) in 2014. We may have changed our name, but we are the same organization that has been serving physician leaders since 1975.
