Effective Leadership Skills for Every Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon

Early in our careers, most of us are focused on being technically skilled enough and smart enough to handle any challenging patient case. However, most careers get frustrated by the challenges outside the operating room. Every orthopaedic trauma surgeon is a leader, even if they don’t aspire to be the director, chairman, or to serve another administrative leadership role. This pre-meeting event will address leadership skills that every orthopaedic trauma surgeon should develop to increase their career success.

Learning Objectives:
1. Create a reflective practice for effective leadership.
2. Recognize common system challenges and barriers to success as opportunities to learn.
3. Understand the benefits of realistic goals and strategic plans.
4. Leverage your strengths to gain other strengths, including advancing emotional intelligence.
5. Discuss negotiation skills and ways to self-advocacy within organizations.
6. Compare and contrast methods of giving and receiving feedback.
