Medical Practice Insights: Leading Organizations Through Change

Leaders in healthcare are facing a world that is anything but the status quo. In today’s episode, Katie Lawrence, MHA, CMPE, Director, Ambulatory Optimization & Integration, Prisma Health, examines how leaders can address change in their organizations to become more successful in engaging team members, physicians, and other stakeholders. As Katie says, leadership begins with self, and she talks about how leaders can identify their reactions to changes and how to authentically accept those reactions while understanding that others may not view the same change in the same way. Katie she says one great source she often turns to is Dr. Brené Brown, a research professor who has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.
