Course Description and Target Audience

Building off of BBC’s PCBH Week II Becoming a Radical Leader…, this interactive webinar will allow healthcare leaders of all professions and types to approach their employees from a functional contextualist perspective. Specifically, attendees will learn how to engineer a context to promote employee engagement by applying a functional contextualist framework of See them, Celebrate them, and Expect of them. During the webinar, specific examples of this leadership style will be provided, as well as the results of them being applied within a community health center’s Primary Care Behavioral Health program. Lastly, attendees will be given the opportunity to develop their own strategies and innovations in hopes of applying these to the healthcare organizations they currently work in. This webinar is for ANY healthcare leader hoping to improve employee engagement within their teams.
