Help with interviewing a DOR
Hello,
I work in a fairly large inpatient rehab facility. We recently lost our DOR and have an interim one. Admin has narrowed it down to the last (2-3?) permanent DOR candidates and as part of the interview process they go through, therapy gets to speak with/interview them. One person from PT/OT/ST is going to each interview and I was asked to be the SLP to attend. I need help coming up with questions. I asked the other 3 SLPs if there is anything they would like me to bring up but it was crickets.
So far I plan to ask about management style and what the candidates' preferred method to allocate resources across disciplines is (replacing old equipment, what generates the most revenue, etc.). I don't know quite how to better phrase "How do you avoid favoritism?"
I am wondering how they plan to support the SLPs goals (we recently got the green light for FEES but it took years and was only given the go because an acute care therapist started and pushed hard for all of us in both acute and rehab) so I would like to ask about their participation in that ongoing project (training in this case). Im bad at phrasing these thoughts 😅
I have been trying to think of what I disliked/disagreed with when reflecting on the previous permanent DOR. However, I am coming up short. He was a very laid back, friendly man who did not micromanage. This biggest issue was playing favorites and he did attempt to be subtle about it (our interim DOR does not know the meaning of subtlety). Therapists report to the therapy leads and the therapy manager, not the DOR at this facility.
So my question is what would any SLPs here ask a potential DOR?
TLDR: I'm helping interview a DOR candidate for IPR. What are some questions you would ask?
