The Mind Full Medic Podcast
Leading with Courage and Kindness in Healthcare with Dr Don Berwick and Professor Catherine Crock.
Welcome to Season 6 Episode 1 of the podcast. This season we will explore the overarching theme of hope as something we intentionally co-create through great strategy and action. I am incredibly honoured to be joined but not one but two "giants" in healthcare clinical leadership, Dr Don Berwick President Emeritus and Senior Fellow at at the Institute for Health Improvement and also special guest co-host Professor Catherine Crock Chair and Founder of the Hush Foundation. ( More complete bios in episode)
In this powerful conversation we again use Marshall Ganz's perfect story arc of self, us and now to explore Dr Berwick's own story and journey of healthcare improvement, we discuss how important it is not do this work alone and organise and bring others will us. We learn that there is method in mobilisation as beautifully demonstrated by the success of the 100, 000 lives campaign. Leadership remains the pervasive theme throughout and the call to action extends to all of us in healthcare but particularly to the highest levels of leadership to courage and kindness, to dare greatly, get rid of stupid stuff, deeply listen and engage clinicians and patients and be prepared to change mind and direction with new and involving information. Whilst a short podcast conversation cannot do full justice to the wealth of combined knowledge and wisdom of these two senior clinical leaders, I know you, like I, will gain so much from this one and I encourage you to explore more of the resources we discuss linked below.
