Team Excellence and Collaborative leader

The Team excellence self assessment was somewhat difficult as many of the question are geared more to the function of the team rather than my leadership abilities. I based my assessment on my function as Medical Director with regard to the overall organization as well as the leadership team. Overall our leadership team is relatively cohesive, considering the medical group has changed ownership within the last year. We are currently in the process of defining goals and meeting with providers in our local and regional markets on a regular basis to gain collaboration.

These are areas, I have worked on for years and will continue to work on, Being a very driven person, I often lack patient with others and need to be more gracious. As Paul reminds of in Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
