The dean of the stamford school of medicine has had to address many significant issues on campus and beyond. What are your thoughts on the roll of leaders in communication in times of ambiguity and challenge? Any insights that you've learned? I think one insight is, when someone doesn't know the answer to a question, or when the answer the question is simply not known, we need to that we don't know.
“It's not reassuring when we don't know the answers to critically important questions involved in health and wellbeing. But it's far more of a problem if we try to pretend we do.” In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Stanford Medical School dean Lloyd Minor sits down with podcast host Matt Abrahams to discuss transparency in leadership.
“Rather than pushing ambiguity away, we should lean into it, and use it as a stimulus to guide our communication in more effective ways.” They also discuss the benefits an introvert can bring to leadership roles and critical role listening plays for anyone in a position of power.
