New CHAT Series!

Have you ever worked with more than one organization or team and experienced challenges in priority setting in one or both areas? Leaders in Canadian academic health sciences centres (AHSCs) experience this as well! Rarely are priorities between the academic and hospital worlds well-bridged which leads to a growing divide. Miscommunications and tensions follow. How to resolve this? We are running a brand-new Bridging Leaders Program and want to invite you to join us for open-access monthly Leadership CHAT sessions. I am delighted to host these sessions, and welcome all to attend, expand your networks, and discuss various leadership challenges you are facing! Register below. Questions? sarrah@mcmaster.ca
