Impromptu Speaking: Teaching an Essential Leadership Skill
Objective
Clinical leaders are frequently asked to assert an opinion or message spontaneously in a public forum. We aimed to measure the effectiveness of structured leadership training in impromptu speaking.
Design
This prospective study examined trainees who participated in a 3-hour workshop consisting of didactic instruction on impromptu speaking followed by small group practice. The workshop ended in a large group where participants were selected randomly to speak on various topics. Pre- and postsurveys were administered to measure participants' comfort with impromptu speaking, organization, integration of the audience's perspective, and ability to portray a central message. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and two-way repeated measures ANOVA.
Setting
This study occurred at a tertiary academic institution during protected surgical resident education time.
Participants
Medical students, surgical residents, and surgical fellows participated in the study. Fifty-four trainees completed the workshop and surveys.
Results
Of the 54 trainees who participated, 74.1% (n=40) had no previous leadership training. Perceived comfort with impromptu speaking improved (p < 0.001), especially among those with no previous leadership training (p = 0.013). Perceived ability to adapt communication to the audiences improved after the workshop (p < 0.001). Participant's perception of their ability to deliver a central message also improved (p < 0.001), especially among those without previous leadership training (p = 0.001). Participants did not feel the workshop improved their organization with impromptu speaking (p = 0.572). 90.7% (n=49) would like additional educational opportunities to improve their communication as a leader, and 88.9% (n=48) thought formal leadership training was beneficial.
Conclusions
A 3-hour workshop on the essential leadership skill of impromptu speaking is a feasible way to increase surgical trainees’ comfort with speaking, as well as their perceived ability to integrate the audience's perspective and deliver a central message. Dedicated leadership training for surgical trainees focused on specific skills, such as impromptu speaking, is both desired and effective within a residency program's existing protected educational time.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Surgical Education (JSE) is dedicated to advancing the field of surgical education through original research. The journal publishes research articles in all surgical disciplines on topics relative to the education of surgical students, residents, and fellows, as well as practicing surgeons. Our readers look to JSE for timely, innovative research findings from the international surgical education community. As the official journal of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS), JSE publishes the proceedings of the annual APDS meeting held during Surgery Education Week.
