How to lead by example with integrity, humility and inspiration

I had the absolute honor and privilege of interviewing Dr. Richard Carmona, our 17th U.S. Surgeon General. I was very humbled to hear about his own childhood experiences impacting his journey to becoming the U.S. Surgeon General. Dr. Carmona shares so much wisdom with us including his “hard knock lessons” learned over the past 5 decades in medicine, military, politics and his many impactful, diverse leadership roles.

My takeaways: “Listen more and talk less” , “lead with your values, with integrity and authenticity being your top value” and “a true leader is responsible for the destiny of others.” Our National Healthcare Mission should be: ” We want a society that can live younger, longer, happier, healthier and cheaper”.

Please listen to our discussion with an open heart and open mind on how we can move forward together and transform our culture of medicine. We welcome your feedback!!
