SUMMARY:Hidden in Plain Sight: The Leadership Dynamic Undermining Healthcare Teams
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \nHidden in Plain Sight: The Leadership Dynamic Undermining Healthcare Teams\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026\,\n12-1:00pm ET – Virtual \nHealthcare leaders are working harder than ever to address burnout\, communication breakdowns\, and disengagement on their teams. In the healthcare industry\, where the pressure and human stakes are high\, organizations have invested heavily in programs\, policies\, and training designed to help. Yet many leaders still feel stuck addressing the same challenges year after year with little lasting improvement. \nThe problem isn’t a lack of effort. Often\, the solutions focus on prescribing behaviors rather than addressing the deeper leadership dynamics that shape how people see and respond to one another. \nIn this session\, we’ll explore the hidden mindset patterns that quietly undermine collaboration\, fuel burnout\, and distort how leaders see the people they serve and lead. Drawing on real-world examples\, including lessons from healthcare environments\, we’ll examine why well-intentioned leadership actions sometimes make problems worse and what leaders can do differently. \nParticipants will gain a clearer understanding of the leadership dynamics that shape culture and performance\, along with practical frameworks that help leaders address conflict\, reduce burnout\, and restore the human connection at the center of patient care. \nAudience participation will be encouraged to ensure an engaging discussion. \nSpeaker: Victoria Trammel\, Vice President of Operations\, Leadership Development\, and Strategy Implementation\, Arbinger Institute \nAbout the Arbinger Institute:\nThe Arbinger Institute is a global leadership development firm that helps organizations shift mindset\, improve culture\, and drive change that leads to exceptional results.  \nMembers attend for free\nNon-members – $15 \nClick HERE to register.

This engaging program invites participants from every level to explore how authentic openness can strengthen teams\, improve communication\, and elevate culture. \nFeaturing a panel of respected executives who openly share their own stories\, this session highlights the truth that vulnerability does not disappear as you move up the corporate ladder. In fact\, the higher the role\, the more profound\, and necessary\, vulnerability becomes. \nThrough interactive activities\, reflective prompts\, and real conversations\, attendees will experience the rawness and relief of realizing: regardless of job title\, we all wrestle with doubt\, fear\, and uncertainty. And when acknowledged rather than hidden\, these shared moments of humanity unlock new ways of thinking\, collaborating\, and leading. \nThis is not a lecture but an immersive experience. Participants will feel\, explore\, and witness how vulnerability transcends hierarchy and creates space for genuine connection and growth. \nWhat Makes This Session Stand Out \n\nOpen to everyone—from frontline staff to executive leadership.\nExecutive panelists model vulnerability themselves\, demonstrating that openness is not a sign of weakness but of leadership maturity.\nActivities invite participants to connect with their own stories while recognizing the shared humanity across all roles.\n\nKey Objectives & Takeaways \n\n Recognize That Vulnerability Is a Universal Experience Across All Roles\n\nAttendees will understand that no title\, including those in the C-suite\, protects anyone from challenge\, doubt\, or emotion. Vulnerability connects us all\, regardless of hierarchy. \n\n Experience How Authenticity Strengthens Trust and Culture\n\nThrough activities and panel dialogue\, participants will feel how openness fosters psychological safety\, empathy\, and improved communication at every level of the organization. \n\n Gain Practical Tools for Bringing Vulnerability Into Daily Interactions\n\nIndividuals will leave with actionable strategies for expressing vulnerability in healthy\, productive ways that enhance teamwork\, collaboration\, and leadership presence\, no matter their position. \nTickets:\nMembers – $35\nNonmembers – $50\nRegister HERE!
