Summary
Central to running an effective team is knowing your own personality, the good parts and the bad. It is reassuring to know that there are no perfect leaders in medicine, just like in any field, no matter how good some leaders think they are. We all have inherent personality traits that can make us more, or less, effective. This chapter helps you examine your strengths that may lead you to be a good leader, as well as your weaknesses, and how to identify both. It dives into the value of 360 evaluations, and how to procure one that will be most informative and helpful. We discuss the benefit of having a coach to help you process your personality traits to maximize your effectiveness. It goes into the available coursework available in leadership development, including suggested readings. It discusses the importance of assessing and continually reassessing your effectiveness as a leader, and how to recalibrate. It concludes with an explanation of how to find and establish your peer group once you’ve achieved a new leadership position.
