Community Health Center Management Principles for Boards and Senior Managers - Principle 9 - Practices of the Effective Manager

This is a continuing series for effective Community Health Center Governing Boards and Senior Management.

Today we address:

Principle 9 - Practices of the Effective Manager
· Manages time
· Sloughs off what has ceased to be productive
· Decides which tasks to tackle (Prioritizes and stays with decisions – Sets the right priorities)
· Decides which tasks not to tackle (Posteriortizes - Picks the future over the past)
· Makes decisions at the highest level of conceptual understanding
- Is this a generic situation or an exception?- What is this decision to accomplish?- Have I started out with what is right? Knowing I will have to
compromise later?
- Can I convert this decision into work?
· Focuses on overall contributions rather than on the details of the work.
· Builds on strengths or self and others - mobilizes the correct strengths.
