Why should I attend?

 Participants will advance their leadership competencies, required for steering their organizations through the promising but demanding future of the healthcare sector. They will benefit from intense interaction with peers as well as representatives of other important stakeholders, contributing not only to a better-rounded view of strategic challenges and possible responses to them but also to strengthening personal networks in the sector. However, the benefits will not only stem from professional discussions but also from insights about own leadership behaviors and patterns of engagement in comparison to best leadership practices in the healthcare sector and beyond. Personal development and growth, as well as replenished energy and engagement focus, are the ultimate benefits of the program.
