All of us work in teams, but what makes one team great and another less so? In this episode, I discuss teams with Simon Craig who has written a book called From hurting to healing in which he explores how we need to change medicine for the better. He tells me about the importance of belonging, leadership, and cake! His top tip for doctors would be to really invest in high quality connections.
Dr Simon Craig has been a medical doctor for over 30 years, specialising in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and working in both the private and public systems. Over his career, Dr Craig has created and led many teams, supervised multiple junior staff, and participated in regulatory groups and activities. His experience is further informed by qualifications in conflict resolution, and he has a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology. He has written a book called From hurting to healing, and he writes a blog.
His founded his company PosMed based upon a need. Our institutions and those within them have struggled for too long with systems that require improvement. PosMed has a focus on building individual flourishing and high performing organisations. All in healthcare have a right to desire the best systems possible – those that allow for well-being and achievement within a culture of kindness, openness, and excellence. Dr Craig’s vision is that PosMed can be part of the process leading to optimal outcomes.
