003 - Colin Myers - Leading Under Pressure

Are there any teams that work under greater pressure, for higher stakes, than an emergency department at a hospital? Have you ever been part of a team that thinks the work it does is too important to ‘waste’ time thinking about the way its members interact – a team that thinks its technical skills and knowledge gives it immunity from having to think about human interaction? Then this episode is for you. Colin Myers carries the ultimate responsibility for hundreds of emergency patients everyday. He is the Executive Director of Critical Care across four hospitals. He is a specialist doctor with decades of experience. He is a man enormously aware of himself as a leader and the power of effective teamwork. In Colin’s world healthy leadership and team dynamics save lives – and he gives us an amazing insight into that world right here, in the third episode of the Team Guru Podcast.
