As a leader in healthcare, Tenet is committed to providing the best possible care to every patient, with a clear focus on quality and service. Strong leadership is essential to delivering on this commitment, and we believe that the quality of our leaders can give us a significant long-term competitive advantage. We want to ensure every current and future leader in Tenet is successful, and we support that through our selection and hiring process and by providing coaching and training to our leaders.

In this regard, we have identified core competencies that will enable a leader to succeed at Tenet, and have defined them within the following five areas critical to performance: 

Drive Organizational Success

• Translates complex strategies into aggressive and achievable team/individual goals, targets and action plans that deliver results (e.g., local employer outreach strategy, with target employers, assigned leads, and defined approach).
• Creates focus, energy, and commitment to key Tenet operational initiatives (e.g., highly visible champion for Tenet initiatives such as TGI, MPI, etc.).
• Maintains ongoing feedback, measurement and assessment processes that determine progress to plan and, if necessary, lead to course correction (e.g., weekly reporting and team dialogue of physician sales activities).
• Builds consensus and commitment among various stakeholders, often with competing priorities (e.g., bringing physicians, managers, and employees together to improve patient service).
• Participates in talent planning to ensure recruitment and development of high performing leaders. Shapes roles and assignments in a way that maximizes individual capability and performance contribution (e.g., identifies and develops/mentors' talent).

Use Astute Judgment

• Demonstrates intellectual curiosity by seeking out new information and market awareness and uses that knowledge to improve the business (e.g., identify a weakness of a competitor in a service line, and bolster the facility image in that service).
• Uses a fact-based approach to assessing and designing solutions, and resists acting exclusively on anecdote (e.g., measuring market share by service line, vs. responding to a physician comment of a competitor's strength).
• Understands and addresses complex issues in the critical areas of healthcare, including payer mix, regulatory/legislative changes, physician partnerships, and acquisitions/divestitures.
• Defines unambiguous strategies for growth and operational excellence (e.g., identifies specific, aggressive goals for physician and patient satisfaction scores, BSC targets).
• Understands financial indicators/levers and delivers earnings and cash flow at or above budget, regardless of changes in the environment (e.g., pursues incremental and significant improvements in productivity and revenue generation).
• Critically and logically evaluates strategic and operational alternatives and selects tactics that mitigate cost risk and maximize revenue potential (e.g., prioritizing capital investment based on ROI, physician relationships, safety, etc.).

Lead Boldly

• Takes decisive action in high stakes situations, times of crisis and uncertainty (e.g., responds to local disasters, such as a hurricane).
• Takes calculated risks to stay competitive in the industry/market (e.g., recruiting a physician when facility has an existing practice group).
• Promotes or asserts own position and ideas (e.g., believes in the value of new HIT system, and actively promotes it to physicians).
• Champion's new ideas and initiatives that create operational/strategic advantage (e.g., implement a new nursing care model).
• Seeks out and decisively confronts and resolves issues or barriers to success, including uncompetitive or ineffective processes, practices, and people (e.g., challenges a specific billing practice).

Shape Strategy

• Develops progressive physician/facility strategies that achieve/exceed service, quality, growth, and cost targets year after year (e.g., a facility master plan, partnership with a local LTAC).
• Develops and communicates strategies that achieve competitive advantage, in areas such as productivity, quality, culture, talent, internal/external volume and revenue growth initiatives.
• Builds a credible, high return physician growth/replacement strategy that recruits and retains first rate medical staff (e.g., targeting a specific medical group, recruiting from specialized facilities for sub-specialty talent).
• Counters competitive threats by leading distinctive change initiatives (e.g., building a free-standing ER to defend service area).

Earn Unwavering Trust

• Demonstrates high visibility networking and interacting constantly with key stakeholders to inform and advise on strategic initiatives, progress, healthcare trends, etc. (e.g., speaks at community events, sits on local boards).
• Builds solid effective relationships with physician partners, payers, and customers (e.g., meets with key physicians quarterly).
• Exhibits excellent communication, presentation and listening skills that secure commitment and alignment.
• Maintains high ethical standards and integrity consistent with Tenet values and compliance expectations.
