As you've built your career, uh, what's your philosophy of leadership and, and how your leadership helps you balance all of those multiple stakeholders in your decision-making?
2:23
Uh, appreciate the question, and I'd say ultimately, uh, my leadership style comes down to stewardship.
2:29
In healthcare, every decision we make affects real people, patients, families, and our caregivers.
2:36
The consequences of getting a decision wrong can be significant, which in my opinion, creates a different level of accountability that always keeps me grounded.
2:46
Uh, what I've learned is that leadership is less about having all the answers, but more about creating those conditions for great decisions to happen consistently.
2:56
So again, I'll say consistently.
2:58
I'm not going to need to have all the answers, but I do like to have all the information, and that means I have to count on a ton of other experts, so no leader, I think all of us know this, no leader, regardless of tile, title s- has enough information to make that decision alone.
