The Real Leaders of Healthcare

Blog Post by Joe Babaian
This week I felt it would be a great opportunity to call out the best examples of leadership in healthcare that you have seen during this pandemic. Leadership can take many forms as we tackle this new normal.

Sharing factual news and updates
Working on the front, middle, and backlines to save lives
Research & development for vaccines and/or therapeutics
Adapting teaching to the new dynamic we face
Tackling social issues from unemployment to mental health
Working towards best implementations of public health research
So many more…

These are just a few examples. One fear is that with our news cycle going super speed, we can lose some of the finer examples of leadership that matter: people and stories that we must not forget or ignore.
Let’s use our time together today to think about this and discuss.
Join us for the next #hcldr tweetchat on Tuesday, May 5th at 8:30pm EDT when we will be discussing:
T1 During this crisis, who has stood out to you for having the greatest positive impact? Why?
T2 Share an example of someone local that has had a positive impact on you/your family/your community.
T3 What types of leaders (sectors) do you see being the most important going forward during this pandemic?
T4 How do you think leadership is evolving as a result of this pandemic? Same players, or something new?
