Leadership During the Covid-19 Pandemic
A Survey of your Experiences as a Leader during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Dear Colleague,
We invite you to participate in a research study about leadership in healthcare during the covid-19 pandemic, by answering a survey. This survey is only for those with a formal leadership role in healthcare, so please answer these questions only if you have a job title that includes words such as 'director' or 'manager' or 'chief' or 'head' or 'supervisor' or other similar leadership term. This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.
Answering this survey should only take about twelve minutes of your time. By answering this survey, you are giving consent to participate in this research. Participation in this survey is purely voluntary. If you do not wish to participate you can ignore this invitation. We do not foresee any risks in participation. Responding to this survey will not affect your job performance. All individual responses in this survey will be anonymous, and data will only be reported in aggregate. Through this survey we are trying to identify the challenges and barriers leaders such as you experienced during the pandemic, the personal effects you experienced, and the methods you used to face the challenges and perform self-care. We are also trying to identify important lessons of leadership, especially crisis leadership, learned by you during the pandemic. Your answers will generate knowledge that will help educate leaders, and help them be prepared for future crises, or for a worsening of the current pandemic.
The results of this survey will be published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. We are also happy to directly send you the results prior to publication, if you provide your email. If you have questions about this research, please contact Dr. K. S. Gautham at gksuresh@bcm.edu.
We thank you for sparing your valuable time if you do decide to participate in this survey.
