From Army Leader to Healthcare Executive: What Nobody Tells You with Guests Neill Marshall & Kurth Mosley

This episode is one I believe every military healthcare leader, aspiring executive, and transition-minded professional needs to hear. Because we’re talking about something most people only discover too late: what actually separates leaders who successfully transition into healthcare executive roles… from those who don’t.And today, we’re hearing directly from two men who have spent decades inside the rooms where those decisions are made.First, Neill Marshall. Neill has spent nearly 30 years in healthcare executive search and has been involved in more than 600 senior-level executive assignments—including over 50 CEO searches. He helped build and lead multiple nationally recognized search firms before co-founding HealthSearch Partners, now one of the largest healthcare executive search firms in the United States.He’s helped recruit leaders for some of the most respected healthcare organizations in the country—including executive searches for Intermountain Healthcare and Baptist Health. Simply put—Neill has seen what exceptional leadership looks like… and what it doesn’t.Joining him is Kurt Mosley, one of the most recognized voices in healthcare workforce strategy and leadership trends today. Kurt spent more than 30 years with AMN Healthcare and Merritt Hawkins, helping shape relationships across hospital associations, physician organizations, and healthcare systems nationwide.He’s advised thousands of healthcare leaders, spoken to more than 90 professional organizations, and has been featured in publications ranging from USA Today to Modern Healthcare. He’s also worked at the center of some of healthcare’s biggest workforce challenges—including physician shortages, staffing instability, and the future of healthcare leadership itself.And what makes this conversation powerful… is that these two don’t just understand resumes. They understand patterns.They’ve seen what makes leaders rise. What causes others to stall. And how healthcare leadership is changing faster than most people realize.So today, we’re diving into: • What executive recruiters are actually looking for • Why military leaders often struggle translating their experience • The hidden mistakes candidates make during transition • What the first 90 days reveal about leadership success • And how AI and workforce disruption are reshaping the future of healthcare executivesThis episode is honest. Strategic. And probably uncomfortable in all the right ways.Check our the first 90 days at: https://healthsearchpartners.com/first-ninety-days/Book Mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/Your-Well-Before-Youre-Thirsty/dp/0385485468 Marine!
