1-Page Handout on High Performance Teams and Book Club (by CT Lin)

What does a high performance team have to do with book club? Come to the Clinical Informatics Leadership Bootcamp to find out!

One of the core pieces of onboarding new PIGlets (Physician/APP Informatics Group members) is getting them immersed in our culture.

Our Vision: We improve physician and team wellness and effectiveness by building extraordinary relationships and innovative tools.

How do we get to this vision, though? It is not enough to chant the vision and have everyone just inhale it into their DNA.

My solution: Monthly Large PIG meetings (Large PIG = the large group of all PIG members including senior and junior members).  Consider, as CMIO, the principles below: building your team, designing your goals, aligning incentives, investing in yourself, investing in your culture, investing in individuals.

Here’s a graphic of the principles

Finally, BOOK CLUB. I buy all new PIGlets 4 books for the first year: one per quarter, from the list below. I give them 3 months to read the books, then we discuss at our morning Large PIG meeting and the seniors contribute stories of how the principles they describe did or did not work for them.

Here’s graphic of the books.
