109. Your Staffing Crisis Has a Name. And It's Still in Your Building (opens the original)

Most healthcare organizations believe they have a staffing problem. They post the jobs. They run the campaigns. They bring in agency staff. They offer signing bonuses. And the positions stay empty.

In this episode, Diane Gudmundson shares that story, one side of a real situation, because she believes that if the lea
105. Moving from Clinician to Leader, what noone tells you! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Roots of Change Podcast - Episode 105 - Nobody Told Me This Would Happen There is a moment most clinicians who move into leadership remember clearly. The day the dynamic shifted. The day the skills that made them exceptional at the bedside stopped being enough on their own.
