Stop Meeting About It — Start Leading

Leadership isn’t about filling calendars or giving slide-deck sermons to rooms full of glazed eyes. It’s about making things happen.
We've all known that one leader — the self-declared “collaborative visionary” who treats every day like it’s a TED Talk. Every problem? “Let’s schedule a meeting.” Every meeting? “Let’s schedule a follow-up.” By the end of the month, nothing’s changed — except everyone’s calendar is now a solid block of regret.
In healthcare, where real lives and well-being are at stake, we simply don’t have time for leadership theater. Patients, providers, and communities need us to act — not to admire the problem with flair and Post-its.
Effective leadership isn’t about performance. It’s about progress.
So ask yourself:
Are you leading for movement, or managing for motion?
Healthcare doesn’t need more meetings. It needs leaders who make change real — with urgency, clarity, and courage.
