• Partner with senior leadership, clinical leaders, interdisciplinary teams, and other stakeholders to ensure coordinated decision-making and effective communication.
• Monitor key clinical, quality, service, and workforce indicators to identify emerging concerns, evaluate progress, and support informed action.
• Coach and support leaders and team members, strengthening leadership capability, collaboration, and confidence during the transition.
• Provide senior leadership with clear, objective updates on risks, progress, required decisions, and recommended next steps.
• Help position the organization for a stable transition by documenting priorities, actions, accountabilities, and outstanding work for the incoming permanent leader.
