Leading in Healthcare

04/05/24 • 78 min

Michael Emery's career spans a wide range of healthcare roles starting from ICU nursing, to advanced nurse practice, senior operations roles, and now serves as the Executive Vice President of Senior Living for Curana Health. He is also one of my most memorable classmates from the University of Texas' Executive MBA program at the McCombs School of Business.
On our episode, we spoke about what it is like to learn and lead in healthcare organizations. The conversation delved into what organizations like Curana Health actually do (concierge healthcare), the interrelated work of healthcare and senior living, the GUIDE Model by CMS, what Value Based Care means, why we chose to continue our education at McCombs (an MBA vs. MHA), the role of mentorship in growing leaders, and so much more.

Consistency and Discipline with Chris Heinz

What are the building blocks of consistency? How disciplined are you at...discipline?
Leaders have the double-duty of being disciplined and creating discipline in their organizations. I looked to Chris Heinz from Westport One in this conversation to discuss consistency and discipline in some key areas of leadership.
Some key discussion points gave us opportunities to discuss:

The building blocks of discipline
Where does passion really come from?
Tying discipline to your motivations not your outcomes
Creating processes and automation that help with consistency
Not letting "great" stand in the way of "good enough" (FOMO)

I believe that in a lot of cases "lack of discipline" is actually a misalignment between a person's true motivations and their work. It is nearly impossible to have discipline in the long run about things that don't deeply connect to your WHY.
Thanks for listening!
