Being a leader in healthcare is not for the faint of heart. It requires grit and determination, and unlike many jobs, it doesn’t stop at 5 o’clock.

That’s why today’s guest, John Couris, President and CEO of Tampa General Hospital, believes that healthcare leadership is not just a job or a career—it’s a vocation.

In this episode, John talks about his journey in becoming a healthcare leader, and why the authentic leadership model is the most sustainable way to improve your organization.

We discuss:

• The dedication it takes to be a successful leader in healthcare
• The difficult decisions his team faced during the pandemic
• Leading with authenticity, transparency, vulnerability, and kindness
• Seeking out constructive criticism from staff
