How Your Colleagues are Using The Leaders Forum Video Series to Train Their Trustees. . .
How You Can, Too!
We recently interviewed CEOs who have already bought Leaders Forum tapes. Here's how they're using them:
In Meetings
Several CEOs said they select tapes from the Leaders Forum Video Series to introduce specific agenda items at regular board meetings. With each tape’s succinct, well-organized approach to the subject matter, these CEOs find the tapes invaluable in providing board members the background information they need quickly, efficiently and effortlessly. With running times averaging only 15 minutes, you’ll find when you make a pertinent Leaders Forum tape part of your board meetings, there’s still plenty of time left to discuss the issues raised and how they affect your hospital.
At Home
For board members who want to learn on their own at home, and for CEOs who prefer not to use meeting time to view tapes, hundreds of hospitals have created their own Leaders Forum video lending libraries. Some hospitals report circulating the tapes from their administrative offices while others distribute the tapes to their board members and have them circulate them among themselves. As you might expect, the hospitals reporting the highest usage are those that regularly remind board members the tapes are available. As you create your own Leaders Forum library, be sure to plan strategies to encourage your board members to take full advantage of these powerful learning tools.
For Workshops and Retreats
The Leaders Forum Video Series tapes are designed to work individually or as part of a group of related titles, making them ideal for workshops and retreats of virtually any length, breadth or depth. As you plan your workshop or retreat, you’ll appreciate the nearly limitless flexibility the series offers. Want to spend an afternoon helping your board function more effectively? Plan a three- or four-hour program around the three tapes on leadership. Want to improve relations with your medical staff? Use the three tapes examining the hospital-physician relationship and their Discussion Guides as the foundation and framework for an intensive day-long seminar dealing. Need to design a comprehensive orientation for new board members with little background in healthcare? Develop a weekend retreat using the entire series to handle the basics while you hone in on the specifics as they relate to your hospital.
SIDEBAR:
They're Using the Discussion Guides and Bibliographies, Too!
Every Leaders Forum videotape comes with its own Discussion Guide and Bibliography, prepared in cooperation with the featured expert.
As you’ll discover, each Discussion Guide is carefully designed to help your board members apply the material presented in the videotape to your situation at your hospital. Using these guides with the videotapes, you’ll help your board members understand the information presented better and retain it longer.
You’ll also appreciate how having the Discussion Guides at hand, ready for photocopying, helps you organize your thoughts while saving you valuable meeting preparation time.
When you and your board members are ready to explore Leaders Forum topics in greater detail, you’ll find the Bibliography that comes with each tape helpful in locating the resources the experts recommend.
Guided by the Bibliography, you’ll locate the specific information you need quickly and easily while avoiding the resources the experts consider less helpful.
Sales Letter
Trustee Training Has Never Been Easier— Or More Affordable
Dear Hospital CEO:
Do your trustees understand their appropriate role in hospital governance?
Do they understand your hospital’s role in healthcare for your community?
Are they familiar with legal issues pertaining to conflicts of interest and hospital liability?
Do they know enough about the hospital-physician relationship—from credentialling policies and procedures to forming PHOs?
What about the healthcare industry’s fast-changing financial scene? Could they make an informed decision if one of your payors proposed a risk-sharing arrangement?
And most important, do you have the tools and the time you need to offer them the training they need on these critically important issues?
Introducing The Leaders Forum Video Series
We asked hospital CEOs like you, along with a select group of hospital trustees, to tell us the information they want and need now to be most effective.
They named leadership, legal and financial issues and physician relationships as the topics they’d most like our immediate help in addressing.
Next, we identified recognized experts who could provide that information with insight and authority.
Finally, we packaged it in eleven 10- to 20-minute, information-packed videotapes, accompanied by thought-provoking Discussion Guides and Bibliographies.
We call these powerful new training tools The Leaders Forum Video Series.
You can make these tapes and supporting materials available to your trustees right away, when you order now.
Flexible Learning Tools Let You Train Your Trustees When, Where, How and How Often You Like
It’s easy to use the Leaders Forum videotapes in your choice of training situations—
- At home, your trustees can view and review the videotapes on their own as part of a self-paced orientation and training program.
- At regular board meetings, you can use the tapes as the meeting’s educational component or as background information to introduce a discussion.
- You can group related titles, supplemented by hospital-specific information, to create a comprehensive trustee workshop or retreat.
Each videotape comes packaged in an attractive hard-shell case with the accompanying Discussion Guide and Bibliography tucked inside. You can even use the case’s roomy document pocket to add your own notes on the program topic.
Whenever, wherever and however you choose to use them, you’ll appreciate having The Leaders Forum videotapes on hand to help you help your board become better informed, better educated and more effective.
Let Recognized Industry Experts Train Your Board
Our industry experts—Winifred Hageman, Charlotte Jefferies, John Leech and Scott Roman—have done all the work of organizing and condensing the material for you, adding fresh, authoritative ideas to each of their program topics.
All you have to do is play the tape.
Then, using the Discussion Guides included with each program, you or your board chair can lead your trustees to a deeper understanding of how the issues covered affect your hospital.
For those who want to know more, the Bibliography with each tape identifies the resources the experts feel are most helpful.

‘One of the Best Resources We’ve Found’

[Your Trustee Development Director] also praised the choice of topics covered and the use of nationally-recognized experts as presenters.
“The series producer chose the program topics based on input from hospital CEOs and trustees and then went straight to four of the country’s leading experts on these issues to develop the programs,” [Trustee Development Director] said. “That gives the whole series a high degree of relevance and authority.”
‘A Most Valuable Resource and Versatile Tool’
Each of the Leaders Forum videotapes comes with a Discussion Guide and Bibliography developed in cooperation with the featured expert. Running times for the tapes range from 10 to 20 minutes.
