The attendees at the March NCHR-SD monthly professional development meeting had the privilege of hearing the transformational stories of the Scripps Health turnaround and learning Chris Van Gorder’s 10 Principles of Front-Line Leadership – an authentic, back-to-the-basics approach that can strengthen relationships, improve trust and build a strong corporate culture that will sustain an organization in bad times, good times and times of extreme change.His 10 principles are ….
Chris Van Gorder’s Ten Principles of Front-Line Leadership are:
- Tell your stories. Openly share your experiences.
- Fill in the information gap. When people have the same information, they reach similar conclusions.
- Connect with your people. Share a piece of yourself. You can’t be effective as a distant boss.
- Be “situationally” aware. Actively seek to know and understand. Empathize with others.
- Take care of “me” first. Provide for your employees. Give them the freedom to put others first.
- It’s an all or nothing deal. Responsibility and authority must come with accountability.
- Leave no one behind. Protect and serve your people by being their greatest advocate.
- Bring your mission to life. Genuine, heartfelt actions speak louder than words.
- Always ask, “What if?” Think long-term and big picture. Be ready to fall up.
- Lead courageously and decisively. Challenge your organization to move past what’s comfortable.
Chris has written, The Front-Line Leader: Building a High-Performance Organization from the Ground Up, which goes into greater depth and includes the stories of how Scripps Health transformed into one of San Diego’s best places to work and a top rated health provider.
