I attended this session, and Bob Kramer highlighted crucial points. Senior Living organizations and their boards need to embrace novel CEO characteristics instead of maintaining the status quo. Fostering an innovative culture begins with empowering staff to think big, supporting their autonomy, and trusting their expertise, rather than solely relying on the CEO to lead the charge.
