In this episode, Sue and Tami Chambers discuss the transformative journey of leadership development at Grant Regional Health Center. Tami shares her experiences as a first time senior leader and the impact of the two-day leadership immersion program facilitated by Capstone Leadership Solutions. They explore the importance of structured leadership practices and continuous learning. Tami emphasizes the significance of the nine core leadership practices that make up the “leadership bundle” and how they have shaped her approach to leading. Her experience with the leadership bundle practices, and her belief in their value, motivate her to teach these practices to others. The conversation concludes with encouragement for other healthcare organizations to invest in creating their own internal leadership development process.

  • The two-day leadership immersion provided the official start to Grant Regional’s leaders adopting a common and synergistic way of leading.
  • Structured leadership development was lacking at Grant Regional before partnering with Capstone.
  • Teaching others reinforces Tami's own learning and growth.
  • Empathy is crucial in connecting with leadership immersion participants.
  • Continuous learning is necessary for leadership effectiveness.
  • Accountability meetings help reinforce what was learned during leadership development.
  • Investing in leadership development is worth the initial effort.
  • Healthcare organizations should take the leap to enhance their leadership.
