Healthcare Leaders Face High-Stakes Decisions: Start with Critical Thinking – Top Entrepreneurs Podcast

Dr. Linda Henman, Founder of Henman Performance Group, a leadership consulting firm that works with C-suite leaders joins Enterprise Radio. Her new book is Healthy Decisions: Critical Thinking Skills for Healthcare Executives.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Linda Henman discuss the following:

1. What is the most expensive decision healthcare executives keep getting wrong?
2. You say that “culture” is often used as a convenient scapegoat in healthcare. What do you believe executives should focus on instead when things go wrong in their organizations?
3. What’s the most common trap healthcare executives fall into when facing tough decisions—and how can they avoid it?
4. You argue that good decision-making is messy, not pristine. Can you give an example of a healthcare leader who embraced the mess—and got better results?
5. In the book, you talk about sacred cows making the best burgers. What are some sacred cows in healthcare leadership that need to go on the grill today?
6. If a healthcare executive takes away just one insight from Healthy Decisions, what should it be?
