The Teaming Advantage materials introduced our IU Health Plans Leadership team to fundamental concepts like “Servant Leadership” and “Asset Based Thinking”. We truly embraced the idea that Servant Leadership; where there was a focus on mutual learning, interdependent relationships and building a common vision would be the cornerstone of advancing the integration our IU Health Plans with our peers throughout IU Health. We determined that we had to understand more about our internal partners, their goals and to care about their success as much as our own. Asset Based Thinking challenged us to consider Strengths, Possibilities and Connections – ultimately “What Matters Most Here”. By considering these concepts we are able to more creatively problem solve, brainstorm options and advance our goals for how we serve our patients.
