Overview

The AME Emerging Leaders program cordially invites you to join its 2024 capstone. In this session, the 2024 AME Emerging Leaders cohort will share its lean and leadership journey over the past 12 months. The AME Emerging Leaders program is a one-year leadership development program focused on professional development, learning and networking for new and emerging industry and healthcare leaders. Participants are nominated and selected to become fully engaged with the lean community through projects, initiatives, training and volunteer opportunities. The intent upon graduation is to take a leadership role within the larger lean community and mentor a new AME Emerging Leader cohort on their journey.

The AME Emerging Leaders program intends to cultivate the next generation of continuous improvement leaders. This commitment enables emerging leaders to learn more about lean and continuous improvement, exposing them to industry leaders and best practices. This program celebrates the diversity of AME members by cultivating leaders who embody the AME values of share, learn and grow.

Key learning objectives

In this session, AME Emerging Leaders will share their best practices and success in:

  1. The power of reverse mentoring — Reverse mentoring is when younger generations become mentors to older generations. Reverse mentoring programs often focus on new technology and business practices. The practice improves visibility across the business, helps leaders gain new perspectives and provides less experienced employees with recognition and rewards. Senior employees are likely to connect more meaningfully with workplace culture and understand the issues that affect people at every level of the organization. Reverse mentoring also provides an opportunity for meaningful dialogue on the importance of diversity and inclusion. Reverse mentoring is proven to help close generation gaps and improve leadership skills. It is an opportunity to build trust and nurture meaningful relationships. In this session, AME Emerging leaders will share how they facilitated reverse mentoring events with AME Champions Club members and share the benefits received for both.
  2. AME engagement — The 2024 AME Emerging Leaders cohort will highlight its progress in increasing and sustaining AME engagement, particularly next-generation leadership, using best practices and lean tools like A3 problem-solving. Learn how to implement successful marketing strategies that increase audience engagement.
