Healthcare has never lacked talented people.
What’s lacking in many organizations is the ability to stay connected to the purpose that brought those people into healthcare in the first place.
In this episode of The Lead Up Podcast, Mike Harbour sits down with former hospital CEO Richie Splitt to explore what it really takes to build a culture where people don’t just perform—they thrive.
Drawing from more than 25 years of healthcare leadership and many of the ideas behind his new book, The Healer Revolution: How to Restore the Soul of Healthcare, Richie shares lessons learned while leading through an EF5 tornado, the COVID-19 pandemic, organizational transformation, and the everyday pressures that come with serving patients and leading people.
Together, Mike and Richie discuss why healthcare leaders must move beyond simply managing operations and begin restoring purpose, trust, and connection throughout their organizations.
Whether you’re a hospital CEO, executive leader, director, or manager, this conversation offers practical insights to help you lead with greater purpose while navigating the realities of today’s healthcare environment.
Richie Splitt is a veteran healthcare executive with more than 25 years of leadership experience, including serving as CEO of Norman Regional Health System. He is the author of The Healer Revolution: How to Restore the Soul of Healthcare, in which he challenges healthcare leaders to reconnect their organizations to purpose, service, and a culture of healing.
