Invitation to Participate
A s an MFM physician, you often are required to be a leader—
whether it’s chairing committees or departments, overseeing
research or safety projects, heading up divisions, or serving
at a regional or national level.
Many of us, however, have not been taught how to be an effective
leader. It is not in our training during medical school, residency or
fellowship. As a result, being in a leadership role can be a big bur-
den.
The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) is working to ease
that burden through the SMFM Academy for Leadership and Devel-
opment. The Academy has been developed in partnership with the
Council on Healthcare Leadership and Idahlynn Karre, one of the
leading educators, writers and facilitators in the field of leadership.
Idahlynn Karre also has a special emphasis in the medical field.
We invite you to sign up for the SMFM Academy for Leadership and
Development to take advantage of a unique opportunity to garner
leadership training that may make your current position easier and
more rewarding, as well as help advance your career. As a partici-
pant, you will engage with your peers and gain critical leadership
knowledge and skills for today’s healthcare environment.
The SMFM Academy for Leadership and Development is limited to
the first 30 who sign up. The six-month learning and leading practi-
cum includes five monthly electronic leadership conversations for
individualized leadership development, as well as two residential
sessions held at the Ritz-Carlton in Denver, Colorado on October 23-
25, 2015 and April 1—3, 2016.
Please read the curriculum and Dr. Karre’s C.V. to see how powerful
the SMFM Academy for Leadership and Development will be and
the difference it can make in your career and life.
Remember, there are only 30 spaces! Sign up today so you don’t
miss this unique opportunity.

The Academy seeks to increase the awareness and
understanding of leadership development among
MFM physicians as well as excite and equip partici-
pants for future leadership roles both in and beyond
the profession.
“The SMFM Leadership Confer-
ence has opened my eyes to a
completely new way of thinking,
and has given me a skill set that I
will be able to use immediately.
This conference taught me about
my own personal strengths, and
how I can apply them to improve
my leadership skills and workplace
environment.”
Joanne Stone, MD
“The SMFM Leadership Course
was the most productive use
of my time in many years. The
lessons that were learned
could be carried to almost
any situation and interaction.
The teaching was informative,
thought provoking, and con-
stantly enjoyable.”
Brian Iriye, MD
“As a leader, physician, and
more importantly, as a wife
and mother, my time is ex-
tremely valuable. This course
was well worth my time—both
for enhanced insight and skills
that I can utilize and share on
both a professional and per-
sonal basis. The facilitators
are skilled, knowledgeable
and passionate. I highly rec-
ommend this course to others
without hesitation. “
Lauren Dungy-Poythress , MD
H ow do we prepare leaders who understand themselves,
know how to build relationships, have the skills to develop
and work with teams, think and plan critically and strategi-
cally, and connect their communities? This kind of systemic change
in leadership development needs a strong program. Participants re-
quire an intellectual base on which to build their leadership responsi-
bilities.
Leadership development must be carefully designed to broaden the
participant's knowledge of leadership theories and principles, as well
as develop supervisory and managerial skills. Training must help par-
ticipants apply leadership concepts, practices, and processes as
they relate to the needs of actual work situations. Training cannot be
conducted in a format that is isolated or disconnected from the par-
ticipant's experiential world or the context of their reality. Training
must be problem-based, with a situated learning environment rich
with authentic applications and assessments. To this end, mentoring
and coaching for success are keys to effective leadership training.
The Academy for Leadership and Development offers opportunities
to acquire and understand major research and theoretical develop-
ments in leadership. Participants have opportunities to develop profi-
ciency in selecting, integrating, and applying appropriate concepts
from social and behavioral science and adult education in formulat-
ing and implementing approaches to leadership problems and is-
sues. The Academy provides a systems approach to transformational
leadership. The program is dedicated to long-term change.
The Academy training is built upon a foundation of leadership re-
search, theory, competencies, and best practices. Training occurs
over time with measured outcomes. Leaders are mentored and
coached during the Academy by experienced Academy coaches.
Leaders are networked with mentors in their field and colleagues
from their leadership class. On-going personal and electronic conver-
sations keep leaders connected to each other, their institutions, ex-
perienced leaders, and the Academy.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
A ll Maternal-Fetal Medicine physicians are being invited to par-
ticipate. Enrollment is limited to 30 participants per leadership
training program. Limiting enrollment allows for a variety of ac-
tive and collaborative learner-centered activities to be incorporated.
The Academy also advocates that leaders who participate in the pro-
gram be provided additional on-going professional development op-
portunities after completing this training program. An on-going men-
toring program and additional professional growth opportunities for
expanding their leadership roles and responsibilities within and outside
the college are several other components that are essential for a suc-
cessful college succession and leadership development plan.
ABOUT THE ACADEMY
“The SMFM Leadership and De-
velopment course was an ex-
cellent professional decision for
me. Course leaders used a
thoughtfully structured curricu-
lum drawn from the field of suc-
cessful and responsible corpo-
rate leadership as well as years
of personal experience. The
course has given us the tools to
understand our role and our-
selves as leaders within our pro-
fession and within the commu-
nity. We have been provided
with the framework to under-
stand not only our own
strengths but also those of
whom we work with. We have
developed team-building ca-
pabilities that will allow us to
work to achieve our vision of
providing the best care to our
patients while working in a pro-
ductive professional environ-
ment.
I would strongly encourage all
of my colleagues to take this
course. The understanding
gained will have a multiplying
effect that is vital to our role as
true leaders in maternal and
infant well health."
Stephen Contag, MD

PROGRAM SEMINARS
W e welcome you to join us on A Journey in
Transformational Leadership. Our journey will
include seminars, readings, and discussions all
focused on evidence- based research and best practice
skills development in healthcare leadership. During our
residential seminars we will build a community of leaders
working together toward effective transformational lead-
ership.
Our opening seminar will introduce contemporary evi-
dence-based research and scholarship on extraordinary
and Transformational Leadership. Reviewing the research
on best of the best, we will move toward an assessment
of our own leadership and ways to continue to grow as
physician leaders.
Our studies of leadership will then focus on a seminar de-
signed to assess and leverage individual styles of leader-
ship. Understanding Leadership Style is designed to facili-
tate understanding of work behavioral style and facili-
tate understanding of “why do people behave they way
they do.” We will have the opportunity to understand the
strengths associated with our work styles and the work
styles of others. We will explore and engage in skills prac-
tices for blending and capitalizing on style for transfor-
mational leadership.
Meeting the Challenges of Transformational Leadership is
a seminar devoted to you: your vision, values, and mis-
sion and how to articulate and clarify them in interaction
with others. We will look at the demands on you - your
energy and time. Several new evidence-based books on
wellness will be discussed, assessments taken, and per-
sonal goals established. You matter. Your leadership can
only be an extension of your wellness.
Discovering and applying Strengths in Leadership will
deepen your understanding of your personal motiva-
tions, talents and strengths. Using a highly respected evi-
dence-based assessment you will find your unique moti-
vations. We will engage in activities, dialogue and dis-
cussion to enhance your understanding of strengths’
concepts. Through a process of discovery you will come
to articulate your talents and strengths and deepen your
understanding of the unique talents and strengths of oth-
ers.
Relationships matter in leadership. In fact, two prominent
scholars of exemplary leadership argue, “Leadership is a
relationship.” Building and Sustaining Strong Relation-
ships, our next seminar, will focus on the principles of
communication, emotional intelligence, credibility and
trust.
We all work on teams or in work groups. Our abilities as a
leader to set clear expectations, build strong morale,
achieve consensus in decision-making, speak truth in in-
teraction, and recognize and appreciate the work of
those around us on our teams or work groups is a critical
skill-set for physician leaders. We don’t do it alone. Know-
ing how to engage and manage team performance for
valued outcomes is critical in Leading High Performance
Teams in healthcare.
Our role as a transformational leader is one of Intentional
Influence. This seminar will investigate evidence-based
research on the science of influence and change - per-
sonal and organizational. Understanding the motivations
and abilities of our colleagues, teams, and organization
will provide a frame for intentionally building success.
PROGRAM SEMINARS—continued
Conversations that Matter will begin a three part semi-
nar series that explores our role in providing perfor-
mance feedback as a leader. Coaching and talent
management are key components of this seminar. Using
the scholarship of “what matters most at work” we will
assess our role and abilities, explore best practices and
engage in case studies and skills practice for talent
management: individual and team.
Sometimes our opinions vary from those with whom we
work. High-stacks conversations require us to speak our
truth, often to those in power. These conversations need
not be done in conflict. Crucial Conversations tools fa-
cilitate our ability as leaders to engage in difficult or
tough conversations while simultaneously building a
strong relationship with the person with whom we are
having the conversation. This introduction to crucial
conversations is an essential tool in a transformational
leader’s toolbox.
Even when we engage in conversations that matter:
establish clear expectations, manage talent, hold cru-
cial conversations as needed, sometimes we must be
able to hold others accountable. Violations in Account-
abilities at Work will introduce the crucial accountabili-
ties model. Case Studies and skills practice will help you
develop this skill-set and give you the insight to deal with
drama, toxicity, and negative behavior.
Healthcare is rapidly changing. Are you prepared to be
a leader of that change? Leading Change in
Healthcare, our next seminar, will begin with a survey of
evidence-based research in change and best practices
in leading change. After the introduction you will have
the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills in
leading change in one of SMFM initiatives.
The Leadership Summit on organizational excellence will
review the findings from the Good to Great Research.
Our focus will be on using these key research findings as
a continuing guide in developing our leadership, rela-
tionships, teams, and organizations. With the research
on excellence as a source of knowledge and inspira-
tion, we will analyze organizational behaviors and prac-
tices that help transform leaders and move organiza-
tions to excellence.
Investing in relationship chemistry, speaking truth to
power, and communicating with clarity are key compo-
nents of Being a 360-Degree Leader: Leading UP, Down,
and All Around. As leaders we all need to lead up.
Whether you are leading up to a CEO, board, or adviso-
ry committee, your success - and the success of our
team and organization - depends on your ability to
communicate effectively with those in positional power.
Likewise, we must be able to communicate effectively
and lead our colleagues, co-workers, partners, and
staff. During this seminar we identify leadership issues
related to leading others regardless of position and title
in the organization.
Our SMFM Leadership Academy journey closes with a
seminar on Authentic Leadership. The content and best
practices in this seminar summarize the entire program.
Building an enduring leadership legacy requires leaders
who have a clear understanding of their purpose, prac-
tice solid values, lead with heart, establish connected
relationships and demonstrate self-discipline. This SMFM
Leadership Academy is designed to facilitate physician
leaders achieving authentic leadership.
