Mr. Ricks is the administrator of Millennium Surgery Center in Meridian, Idaho. He spoke with Becker’s ASC Review on the four important levels of leadership in an organization.
Question: What is the ideal leadership model for an ASC?
Shane Ricks: Interdependent leadership. Interdependent leadership is about multiplying the power and resources of all four interrelated levels of leadership in an organization — self, people, team and organization — to achieve optimal energy and performance and accelerated business growth.
1. Self leadership: the ability to clearly see and choose to positively influence self and, consequently, others and situations, regardless of outside negative influences
2. Proactive accountability: igniting self-responsibility and self-motivation
3. Coachlike engagement: inspiring others’ growth, energy and performance
4. Interdependent collaboration: accelerating team performance by mitigating weaknesses, mistakes and failure through the use of team strengths
5. Transformative innovation: radically evolving customer-centric solutions to ensure lasting customer loyalty and continuous business growth
