The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey #46: When YOU are the Bearer of Bad News
In this episode, I share my perspective on what it feels like to deliver bad news. People in leadership positions go through this all the time, but their perspective is often not documented and it is just as hard to give bad news as it is to receive it.
Join me as I share my planning and thought process on how to go about it. I share the questions I ask myself as I approach it. I talk about how to do it whether it’s a formal conversation or chat over coffee, how I prepare and gather evidence and I talk about how to move on from it in a positive and constructive way.
