Executive Leadership Lecture Series
Working With Distressed Physicians
Thursday, October 16 | 7:30 to 9 p.m. ET on Zoom
In today’s fast-paced healthcare industry, physician leaders are tasked with creating environments that best serve patients while also supporting their colleagues. Join Jennifer Robin, PhD, and Chuck Stoner, PhD, executive coaches in the Kelley Physician MBA, as they discuss their latest book: Working with Distressed Physicians: A Guide for Physician Leaders. Published by AAPL, the book is an invaluable resource designed for physician leaders who face the challenge of fostering a positive workplace while managing distressed and disruptive behaviors among their peers.
This comprehensive guide serves as a blueprint for administrative leaders and colleagues within healthcare settings and a beacon of hope for distressed physicians themselves. Drawing from lived experiences, the authors provide essential tools and insights to help you navigate these challenging situations, leading to personal achievement and advancements within your unit. By focusing on self and team improvement, you set an example of excellence in healthcare delivery and positively impact the larger healthcare landscape.
In this webinar, Chuck and Jennifer will identify solutions to three critical issues that often arise in healthcare environments:
- Recognizing disruptive behavior: Understand the profound impact disruptive behavior has on team morale and performance.
- Overcoming inaction: Learn how to address and support distressed physician colleagues through early intervention and supportive leadership.
- Ensuring equity and optimal outcomes: Improve outcomes for your unit by taking decisive actions and assuring fairness.

A Gift from Our Physician Alumni
In the Kelley Physician MBA, physicians understand the value of learning from others, and they pay it forward. This lecture series was created through a generous gift from the Class of 2016, in which each member donated funds to endow it. In addition to providing current students access to high-profile healthcare leaders, the lecture series is an opportunity for alumni to return to Indianapolis and participate in thought-provoking discussions throughout their careers.
