Hosted by Quint Studer with special guests Jamie Orlikoff and Michael Pugh

Jamie Orlikoff and Michael Pugh discuss some of the ways leaders will have to evolve as we all navigate complicated problems that don’t have any easy solutions.

You’ll learn:

• How to deal with feelings of failure in senior leaders who are dealing with staffing problems that are largely out of their control (and how their boards can support them through uncertain times).
• Why and how to recapture hospital leadership’s role as a leading voice in health, not just healthcare delivery.
• Why community health should be on everyone’s radar and how hospitals can find innovative solutions to promote wellness.
• How to keep polarization from disrupting your organization and keep everyone united around giving patients the best care possible.
• Why healthcare delivery must be at the center of your healthcare system and drive all your redesign efforts.
• Finding the bright spots and redesigning care teams and processes for the workplace of the future: Why senior leaders need to take an honest look at the changes they’ve made during the pandemic and ask themselves, Is this something we should continue moving forward?
