Interventions

  • CU Thrive Leadership Circles — BEHAVIORAL
    The CU SOM leadership program is based on the Wellness-Centered Leadership framework and Mayo Clinic Leadership Index behaviors, using a COMPASS-style peer group model to build leadership skills and community. Leaders complete brief pre-work and on-the-job practice challenges delivered through an online dashboard, then participate in facilitated peer sessions to discuss implementation successes and barriers. Sessions are led by trained leader-facilitators, with researchers not present, and include structured agendas to support consistent implementation and skill development.

Study Details

This study aims to strengthen leadership competencies among CU SOM faculty who have at least five direct reports by promoting meaningful behavior change in leadership practices and fostering a culture of peer support, to advance employee well-being and help reduce burnout among healthcare professionals. 125 leaders will take part in a six-month leadership development program consisting of 6 self-paced learning focus areas and 6 in-person sessions with peers to discuss. The investigators will evaluate the program's implementation process and its effectiveness in achieving desired outcomes.
