In today's UST Healthcare Journal Club meeting, we discussed the ongoing and worsening shortage of healthcare providers in the US. Our discussion echoes findings in a recent McKinsey article, which also surveyed the German healthcare system, revealing similar challenges abroad. Key insights from the Journal Club discussion align with those from the McKinsey survey: Meaningful Work: Healthcare remains a field where individuals can engage in profoundly meaningful work. Those who find themselves in such positions are indeed fortunate. Leadership Values: The survey highlighted that healthcare professionals greatly appreciate leaders who prioritize their well-being and communicate transparently. Specifically valued:1) Leaders' genuine concern for the well-being of employees and physicians. 2)Transparent and open communication from organizational leadership. 3)Strong cross-functional teamwork. The discussion also highlighted how the UST Health MBA program embodies these values, which is crucial as healthcare professionals strive to improve their organizations. In these challenging times of staff shortages and financial pressures, the need for strong leadership in healthcare is more pronounced than ever. This period marks a critical time for investment in leadership development.

Did you see this? According to a recent Goldman Sachs Executive Benefits Survey, 67% of companies offered executive physical exams to their senior leaders in 2021, up from 59% in 2011. At the same time, the popularity of perks like country club memberships and company cars has declined.   And there’s a good reason for that. Top executives are the MVPs of an organization, and difficult, if not impossible, to replace. So, keeping them healthy is critical. Also, these executives are busy and often don’t have time to focus on their health. An executive physical exam program gives them a convenient health program to fit their schedules.   The Vanderbilt Executive Health Physical program offers comprehensive medical exams that include strategies for preventing disease, reducing risk factors, and optimizing health. We offer blocks of exams to cover your entire leadership team. We’d love to connect with you and provide you with more information. Send us an email at employersolutions@vumc.org.  

Today's senior healthcare leader: → Entered the workforce when talent for services professions was plentiful and easy to replace. Back then: 1) You could prioritize high standards over retention. 2) Invest in management practices to enforce accountability. But now, the landscape has changed dramatically: — Retirement is shifting the population balance: 44% of the country (retirees and the young) depends on the 56% of the population in the workforce. By 2030, 60% of the population will rely on the 40% in the workforce. — Unemployment is lower than in 1970, but the overall population is higher. There’s now a battle for less-educated talent. This shift requires today’s senior leader to: — Master human skills ("soft skills") over hard skills. — Empower employees, not merely control them. — Bring a vision of a patient-centric, purposeful organization to a newsworthy reality Yet, how many nurse managers and allied health leaders are adopting this mindset? Scarcity of skilled healthcare workers is about to become severe. If you want better results, equip managers with the skills to create the work environment that employees want to be a part of.

The Unsung Heroes: Lessons from the NHS on Leadership and Teamwork 🏥💼 This past week, a personal health scare landed me unexpectedly in the care of the NHS, and the experience was nothing short of eye-opening. From surgeons to nurses and support staff, the dedication and efficiency I witnessed were profoundly inspiring. It underscored a critical business lesson: the undeniable value of a committed team. 👥 Diverse Talent, Unified Goal The NHS thrives on the skills and dedication of its diverse staff, many of whom have moved to the UK from abroad. Their ability to maintain high standards of care under pressure is a testament to their professionalism and the robust systems supporting them. This diversity is the backbone of their success, much like in any robust business environment. 📈 Business Parallel In my own ventures, from real estate to technology, the philosophy has always been clear: hire talented individuals, invest in their development, and set up systems that allow the business to operate smoothly, even in my absence. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also empowers the team, fostering a resilient and self-sustaining business model. 🤝 Leadership and Delegation As I've managed to stay connected and oversee operations remotely, thanks to a fantastic team and my incredible business partner, Andy Camp, it's clear that strategic delegation and trust in your team are pivotal. 🔍 Reflecting Forward Whether it’s a healthcare institution or a business entity, the principles of leadership, diversity, and systemised processes hold the key to sustainability and growth. Let’s take a moment to appreciate our teams and the diverse talents that drive our successes. #Leadership #Teamwork #BusinessGrowth #DiversityInBusiness #HealthcareHeroes #NHS #RealEstateInvestment #Entrepreneurship

Please check out my most important career lessons shared in Becker's Healthcare Hospital Review. https://lnkd.in/e_UTw7Ft 1. Become comfortable with uncertainty. It is easy to stay in situations of comfort and have a fear of the unknown. Learn to embrace and navigate through the uncertainty. Beyond uncertainty is growth.  2. Stay curious. Be open to learning new ideas and taking on new opportunities that help you develop into a better colleague and leader.  3. Treat both successes and failures as an opportunity to grow. There are lessons to be learned from our successes and failures in our careers. Each experience teaches us how to better navigate situations in the future.  4. Be intentional. Learn to be strategic about your career decisions. Planning your career path does not end after graduation, professional school, or training. If you have no plans for your career, you will be carrying out someone else's career plans.  5. Share your wisdom with others. Mentorship is the best way to give back and pay it forward to your community. Helping others to be a better version of themselves and become the next generation of change makers is a great way to stay grounded and connected to your purpose. 6. Learn to see humanity in others. We engage with each other from different cultures, perspectives, and norms. Treating each other with respect and seeing the humanity in each other helps us to serve each other and our communities better.  7. No one will advocate for you better than you. No one knows what you want or need for your career growth unless you tell them.  8. The best way to solve a problem is with a team. It is important to promote an environment of innovative thinking and integrative decision-making to understand a problem and develop solutions. 9. Be the master of your time. Learn how to manage your tasks with your time or it will manage you. Prioritize the most important items at your most peak times of productivity and schedule them into your calendar. Delegate when needed. Always make time in your schedule to review information and strategize.  10. Pay yourself first. We cannot take care of others if we do not first take care of ourselves. Schedule time to do what brings you joy each day. This will help you to maintain the balance in our work-life lives.  #careerlessons #shareyourwisdom

Effective leadership and operations management in the healthcare industry have never been more critical, with the finances and workforce of most facilities in a dire state after the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders like Cristian Castillo, MBA, CHFM, vice president (VP) of operations at Mount Sinai Health System are looking to change the healthcare industry’s landscape for the better, preparing for the future with innovative technology initiatives, and a commitment to meeting people where they’re at. Ascending through the ranks after working in healthcare for nearly thirty-five years, Castillo has experienced the operations side of healthcare from various perspectives—all of which inform his decision-making as a VP. “I understand the needs of the frontline workers, who deal directly or indirectly with patients, the guy who is sweeping the floor, the patient transporter who is moving patients from one area to another, the engineer who is taking care of the air conditioner, or the person who is cooking for the patients,” Castillo shares. “I have an excellent relationship with them because I used to be one of them, working on the front lines.” Read more: https://hubs.la/Q02tv9h10 #HispanicExecMag #LatinosinHealthcare #LatinoLeaders

I had one of those moments this week that made me pause and think differently about authenticity in healthcare. You know those scenes in "Dirty Jobs" where Mike Rowe turns to his "truth camera" when things get messy? Instead of hiding the chaos, he faces it head-on, creating these raw, honest moments with viewers. Something similar happened at this week's ACHE Georgia Chapter event. Piedmont's retiring CMO, with just 22 days left in his role, dropped the typical healthcare executive facade and got real with us. Like, really real. He challenged how we're attracting talent (hint: maybe leading with compensation in place of the desire to provide care isn't our best play). He openly admitted to his own leadership stumbles - those moments when ego got the better of him in dealing with care teams. And he said something that probably resonated with everyone in the room: technology, despite all our investments, has often made care delivery more complex, not simpler. What really got me was how he wove in his plans to enter seminary after retirement. In a world where we typically keep our personal lives and professional personas separate, this felt groundbreaking. It hit me - while we're all busy crafting polished presentations and carefully worded speeches, what healthcare might really need is more of these unscripted, truth-camera moments. The kind where leaders feel safe enough to call out those "sacred cows" we all see but rarely discuss. Because maybe that's how real change starts in healthcare - not with another innovation framework, but with more leaders being empowered to have these honest conversations. #healthcare #transparency #leadership
