128: Executive Leadership in Healthcare

Ever Considered Exploring Executive Leadership in Healthcare as Part of Your Career?I recently ran a poll on LinkedIn about what people wanted to hear more about on the podcast. Business & Entrepreneurship/Career in Healthcare took the win the a large margin. So, I figured I'd begin including topics around career advancement, entrepreneurship, business leadership, maybe even healthcare operations & organizational management on more episodes. So, this week, I'm starting by sharing my experience going through the CEO recruiting, interview, and selection process for one of the boards I sit on. During dinner with the search consultant our board hired, they mentioned a quote in passing that stuck with me for the next several days.I asked what that executive search consultant saw in candidates that made them think that the candidate would be successful as a leader. The search consultant said, almost in passing, "Well, the quest of management is to make better what cannot be made perfect." I walked away from that conversation with a few insights and thoughts based on that quote. What we cover in this Episode:-The importance of strategically selecting healthcare leadership & executives-Challenges involving hiring & firing healthcare leaders & and executives-Tailoring your messaging to the stage in the hiring (buying) cycle -How the recruiting, interviewing, and hiring process mimics healthcare sales-Why peaking your mind and saying what you're thinking improves your chances in a competitive hiring process-A little bit about my history and work as a positioning strategist & healthcare consultant -Achieving Better Outcomes by building leadership skills & a strong leadership philosophy  If you'd like to learn more about Strata EMR & RCM and achieving a 99.99% reimbursement rate for your PT, OT, or SLP Clinic head over to stratapt.com and book a demo with their team!
