5 challenges ALL Healthcare leaders face
Fellow Healthcare Leader:
When you decided to embark on a career in healthcare, I'm betting you had a few things in mind:
- Desire to help others
- Supporting underserved communities
- Improving healthcare operations
If this is you, then you're exactly the type of leader we need more of.
But here's the problem.... There are just as many challenges you didn't plan on....that too often threaten your ability to accomplish the tasks at hand.
- Hierarchy and Tradition- Deeply rooted norms that conflict with "getting things done".
- Workforce Shortages - Clinical and otherwise, finding staff is a constant struggle.
- Constant Budget-Wrangling - More with less....always and forever...
- Resistance to Technology - Constant laggards in adopting better tools. Status-quo is the norm.
- Burnout - Not reserved for clinicians, but felt among nearly everyone in our industry.
If you've encountered any of these hurdles, know that you're not alone.
As a healthcare executive for nearly 20 years, I've navigated these very same obstacles.
The encouraging news is that there are strategies and approaches to address each of these challenges effectively. Strategies to get you on the right track, and to meet your potential.

So, how can we begin to improve our odds?

Today, we pull back the curtain and share a...
What We're Digging Into: Operating in a silo, a vacuum…. or really any other isolated structure is no way to run your talent function. Sure, there’s tons of work to do, but is it the right work? Why It Matters: Many HR teams, along with unwitting executive teams still view HR as “nice to have”. This is largely because the programs and projects HR execs choose don’t really apply to where the CEO and CFO are focused—Business outcomes! The reality of business is clear: No two organizations are...
What We're Digging Into: Unpredictable markets, high cost of capital, and changing strategies will mark 2024 and beyond for Private Equity.
