FHC #104: Robert Burgelman on strategic leadership in healthcare

Dr. Robert Burgelman is the Edmund W. Littlefield Professor of Management and the Director of the Executive Program at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

As a worldwide expert on strategy, Burgelman has authored multiple books on leadership and consulted with more than 100 companies around the globe.

Throughout the program, Burgelman:

• Helps healthcare leaders understand the tools needed to visualize change and make it happen.
• Describes how leaders can effectively guide organizations through periods of crisis and difficult change.
• Advises on how to avoid getting distracted by “shiny new things” and, instead, focus on the most-effective (often unsexy) solutions.
• Discusses the merits and potential downsides of private equity’s involvement in U.S. medical care.

Listener note: Given Dr. Burgelman’s high-level focus on strategy, today’s episode will include occasional interjections from cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr to link the material to the day-to-day experiences of healthcare professionals and patients.
