Capability 03: Leadership and People

Grow the leaders and technicians who carry the program.

Programs run on people. Leadership and People work helps you lead well, develop technicians, cover the gaps and build a team that keeps the program steady when someone moves on. Leadership here means serving first.

Signs you need it

You may need this if

  • The program depends on one person, and there is no written backup if they leave.
  • A new manager or director is learning the job without anyone in their corner.
  • Training and competency records do not match the devices technicians actually support.
  • Good technicians leave because they cannot see a path forward.
  • The team is stretched and nobody has measured the work against the people available.

How an engagement runs

Service first, scoped clearly

Every engagement is scoped in writing before work begins, with a clear finish line. What we build belongs to your hospital.
