Abstract
One of the most daunting but ever present challenges for any leader is facilitating change. With most organizations, if you are not moving forward, you are falling behind. Thus, change is inevitable. However, change can be difficult in an organization with multiple high performing individuals, such as physicians. Physicians live busy and complicated lives and success often requires the development of structure and a routine. It is therefore not surprising that changing that structure and routine can incite resistance. This chapter focuses on strategies that can be used to effectively produce change while maintaining a culture of collaboration and positive momentum.
