Leading Surgeons Building Trust Over Time | Dr. Wael Barsoum on Beyond the Scalpel with Dr. Alrashid

Many leaders focus on making decisions. Great leaders focus on building trust.

In this episode of Beyond the Scalpel, Dr. Wael Barsoum discusses a leadership lesson that applies far beyond healthcare: meaningful organizational change happens through influence, credibility, and relationships—not authority alone.

As surgeons, we're trained to identify problems and solve them quickly. But leading large healthcare organizations requires patience and the ability to bring people together around a common purpose.

Leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about earning the confidence of your colleagues so they trust that every decision is in the best interest of patients and the organization.
