The Better Outcomes Show

What are some key skills for Healthcare Leaders & Executives?

Last week on the podcast, I discussed my nonclinical career path and how I went from staff clinician to a healthcare business consultant and practice owner.  After that episode, I received a few emails asking for specific skills or areas of personal development that help in advancing from a clinical role into healthcare administration or leadership. I figured it was worth exploring, and actually writing down what I considered to be key skills for healthcare leaders & executives.

So, this week, I dive into the 5 key skills, or characteristics, that I consider key factors in transitioning from clinical work to healthcare leadership and/or executive roles.


What we cover in this Episode:

The importance of intentionally planning your professional growth and development
Communication as a key skill for healthcare leaders and executives
Starting a healthcare business with no funding
Using Data to make decisions or create communication pieces
Key principles in managing and leading a healthcare business
The importance of crucial conversations
Beginning to take a high-level, value-creation based vision of your work and roles
Achieving Better Outcomes by stepping out of the clinic to affect systemic healthcare improvements


We post videos of certain podcast episodes, including this episode, which can find on the YouTube Channel.
