Maureen Metcalf is a Forbes leadership coach with a suitcase of credentials. She is in high demand nationally and internationally, and I felt honored when she agreed to present to the ICF Columbus on “Coaching Resilience in Individuals” on 7/13/20. Her presentation style and her slides were excellent. She received top notch evaluations. This is not surprising. She has more than 30 years of coaching experience and has published numerous articles including a series of books on leadership. Maureen is now publishing a newsletter and is accepting subscriptions.

The International Leadership Association (ILA) and I are thrilled to participate in an interview series on global leadership with Maureen Metcalf, host of Innovative Leaders Driving Thriving Organizations. Maureen is a professional at what she does. She is knowledgeable and always makes our ILA members and VIPs such as George Papandreou (Former Prime Minister of Greece) and Jorrit Volkers (Dean of Deloitte University - Europe, the Middle East and Africa) feel right at home. During the interview process, her years of experience and insight help elicit and drive home important points about global leadership and our need for more complex, integrated leadership thinking and solutions.

Maureen helped me with development of my engineering team at GE Water. She came in for an offsite leadership retreat, presenting some great material and thought-provoking questions for our team. With her hands-on approach and direct style, Maureen had an outstanding ability to connect with the team of engineering managers. Much of this innovative material was new to them, but Maureen was able to provide great examples to help them relate and understand. Following the retreat, we came away with a clear set of goals and actions for our leadership team. A number of the managers also signed up for Maureen's Innovative Leadership program. Over the year long duration of the program I saw growth in development of leadership and creativity in addressing challenges within their teams and projects. I would highly recommend others consider Maureen's Innovative Leadership program.

Innovative Leadership for Healthcare

Field-Tested Frameworks and Processes to Innovate Leadership and Build World Class Health Care Organizations for the 21st Century

This book represents the synthesis of many years of research, work experience, and consulting. It integrates best practices from health care, medical education, hospital administration, mentoring, coaching, and consulting. We would first like to acknowledge our employers and former employers, patients, students, clients, and colleagues for providing practical opportunities to learn and build strong skills in health care leadership, consulting, organizational change, large-scale systems change, and strategic thinking. It was this solid foundation that allowed us to create this methodology.

As a theoretical foundation, we worked with or studied many thought leaders in leadership development, developmental psychology, and integral theory. The theoretical giants on whose hard work we built the Innovative Leadership and Organizational Transformation models include Wiley W. Souba, Jr., MD, ScD, M.B.A., Susanne Cook-Greuter, Ph.D., Terri O’Fallon, Ph.D., Belinda Gore, Ph.D., Hilke Richmer, Ph.D., and Ken Wilber. These leaders shared their theories and ongoing guidance and encouragement, creating a solid framework that is comprehensive and theoretically grounded.
