Leading, from the gridiron to the boardroom

The Healthcare Facilities Network welcomes Donya Brown, Regional Director of Facilities & Support Services, Mount Carmel Health System, Columbus, OH to the airwaves.

Donya's journey with the five-hospital system began in the depths of the Covid pandemic. We look back to that time as Donya discusses some of the challenges he faced as he began with a new system, in a new state, in a challenging time for all leaders, never mind new leaders. 

Topics discussed include:

* Creating a net of psychological safety
* Balancing the hospital's hustle culture
* Intentional communication
* Tyranny of the Now
* Prioritizing employee development
* Changing department culture one win at a time
* Pivoting from Biology to Facilities
* Working in "The Complaint Department"

As always, thank you for listening!
