Episode 187: Finding Balance Between Holding On and Letting Go as a Healthcare Leader

In this podcast, we talk about the importance of finding balance between Holding On and Letting Go as healthcare leaders.

We know these are incredibly challenging times and that you are facing things you’ve never faced before or no one has taught you how to deal with them as an emerging or evolving leader.

As a result, you rely on what you have learned and experienced in the past about being a leader since there is no blueprint or manual on how to lead during these times. Are we right?

That’s why it’s important to have a delicate balance of letting go of the past that is not serving you, so you can move into the future that will serve you best as a leader.

In this podcast, we talk about the negative consequences of not letting go of the past and how that is not serving you, as well as some of the benefits of practicing reflection as a leader.

We also talk about the ‘stepping-stone’ approach to reflect on milestones in your leadership journey and some of our stepping-stone milestones, and what you can learn from them.
