Representative Training Programs and Services

Leadership Skills Assessments
Any organization is only as good as its management and leadership, yet few organizations devote sufficient resources to developing and retaining leaders. An important first step in that effort is helping individual managers learn their strengths and weaknesses. HWS offers Leadership Skill Assessment engagements to help organizations enable their managers to become more effective leaders. The assessment is designed to help individual managers identify key areas for improvement and is appropriate for new managers as well as experienced leaders.
New Manager Fast-Track Training
Many health care organizations, from providers to insurers to biomedical companies, face the challenge of teaching management skills to talented practitioners and scientists who have been promoted into the leadership ranks of an organization. HWS works with large care delivery systems, public agencies and professional groups to design and improve organizational and professional performance through the development and use of new leadership and management skills.
Customized Management Coaching
HWS' coaching service is entirely customized to each individual's specific needs for skill development. Individual coaching involves one-on-one sessions with an HWS leadership expert, who will work with an individual to development specific leadership competencies and skills.
