“All people want to be heard, respected, and trusted. And if you can do that for people as a leader, I think you’re going to be able to meet your goals.” Carrie Coen
We can learn a lot about how to be a better leader by listening to other executives share their lessons of experience. They share their leadership journeys and what works, what doesn’t work, and the challenges and triumphs they encounter as they navigate the complexities of leading.
In this episode, I talk to Carrie Coen. She is the Chief Reliability Officer at Pullman Regional Hospital in Washington State and has over 30 years of experience in the healthcare field. You’ll hear Carrie share some important leadership lessons she has learned throughout her journey, such as the importance of continuously learning and growing, giving yourself grace, and, most importantly, always moving in a forward direction.
In this episode:
