    Healthcare Leadership and Moving from Colleague to “Boss”

    Healthcare Leadership and Moving from Colleague to “Boss”

    Within a typical healthcare leader's journey and their rise in management ranks, it is not uncommon to transition from a colleague and friend to a position of authority.
    When navigated properly in healthcare, this transition can be seamless, fruitful, and mutually beneficial to all parties involved, including the parent organization and the patients/communities it serves.
    When mismanaged, this transition can be awkward, costly, and deeply consequential.
    Joining us on our Healthcare Experience Matters Podcast this week is Kathleen Zwarick Shanley, PhD, CAE, PCC, ELI-MP. We will delve deep into this common occurrence in healthcare that requires caution and care.
    Kathy is the founder and CEO of Statice and has been a C-suite executive for over three decades and is an official member of the Forbes Coaches Council, a certified association executive, and an International Coaching Federation credentialed professional coach. She also served on the American Association of Medical Society Executives Board of Directors and as an executive with the American Urological Association (AUA) for more than ten years.
