Leading The Most Difficult Person

from Experiencing Healthcare Podcast · host Jamie Preston, Matt Staub

In this 2026 edition of Experiencing Healthcare, we open the year with a deceptively simple leadership question: who’s the hardest person to lead? The answer isn’t a teammate—it’s yourself. Through humor, real-world CEO moments, and hard-earned reflection, Matt unpacks why self-leadership is often overlooked, how boundaries are actually discipline in disguise, and why emotional regulation is the foundation for every decision you make—especially in a “heavy” industry like healthcare. The takeaway: if you want to lead others well this year, start by leading you with intention.
