You want to be a leader? Then you must be a sponge." Virginia Mason Franciscan Health CEO Ketul Patel told the audience at the Albers Executive Speaker Series that learning is core to leadership success, along with building relationships and leaning into change. Healthcare continues to face challenges, among them workforce shortages and the entry of Wall Street, but he is optimistic about growing and scaling the only health system covering the entire Puget Sound. He is committed to rebuilding the workforce and culture, exploring partnerships, and continuing to learn from everyone. A wise mentor once told him that to be successful, "you have to live on an elevator. What he meant was you must connect with people at all levels of the organization, not just make it to the boardroom. Hosted by Joseph M.

“The other thing I would say too is it's important to celebrate decisions where you decided not to do something, that was maybe a great idea. So products you thought about launching that you decided not to launch and in hindsight that was a great decision.”— Peter FurnishPeter Furnish has had a long and exciting career, full of interesting experiences that have helped him learn valuable lessons. His journey has taken him to visit Walt Disney's home in California, where he gained insights into the creative genius behind the Disney brand. He also had the opportunity to witness Sir Richard Branson's daring promotional stunts for Virgin Mobile, which taught him the importance of taking risks to create a buzz.During his career, Furnish has worked with some of the most iconic brands, including The Walt Disney Company, Labatt Breweries, Cineplex, Virgin Mobile, and Starbucks. Each of these experiences has provided him with valuable lessons that have helped him build a successful career.Here are some of the highlights from the episode: Failure is a valuable teacher — always use its lessons to improve Being flexible and unlearning what you know are essential when transitioning between companies of different categories and growth stages Creativity is key to making an impact The differences between founder-led and founder-inspired businesses Build a network and learn from those around you Enjoy!Looking for more?Discover more about Starbucks here.Follow them on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.Discover more about Cineplex here.Follow them on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.You can learn more about Neo Financial here.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.Interested in joining Neo?

In this conversation Jerry Bowyer argues that Christian business owners are not second-class citizens in God's kingdom. Can Christian business owners learn anything from the ancient collaboration of the people of Issachar and Zebulun? We talked with Jerry, one of our keynote speakers at the next Business On Purpose conference, about how doers (entrepreneurs) and thinkers/theologians can work together to accomplish good during times of crisis. Conversation Highlights: -Business owners are world changers. -Balancing thinking vs. doing. -Issachar and Zebulun, shared the same tent (or cubicle!). -Zebulun could make things happen and make profits, but they needed Issachar to help them spot changes and opportunities. -The blessing of the relationship between these two types of people (business owners and Christian scholars/thinkers/clergy) should not be severed in the modern Church. -Don't disdain those who are skilled and called to business or view them as simply people who can write checks to support the church. This conversation was recorded in April 2020.

#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT). "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." --George S. Patton Even though General Patton (think WWII) was considered a stubborn, hard-ass of a leader, he certainly had the right ideas about getting people motivated and innovative to take ownership over their development. Today, even the toughest of leaders are encouraged to show their softer, open side -- and they're the ones win the hearts and minds. When leaders are more open, harmonious and connected to those they lead, even the most mundane of tasks are also executed with harmony between all parties regardless of rank. This kind of leadership generates higher levels of engagement, productivity and business results. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman welcome this week's guest, Dan Pontefract, Senior Director, Learning & Collaboration at Telus and author of Flat Army: Creating a Connected and Engaged Organization. This will be another great "open leadership" show, so we hope to see you here! **SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re thrilled to announce our first “world of work” partnership — with Achievers.

Are you involved in delivering a distance taught course or considering developing one? If so, this session is for you: find out how two University of Otago departments are using the internet, DVD-ROMs and online conferencing to deliver effective distance learning programs, and foster collaborative partnerships with overseas partner institutions. Topics covered include: * planning and course development * selecting appropriate technologies * delivering your course * collaboration - managing email, forums and synchronous communication through chat, IM and audio conferencing. The profiled case studies are using systems developed by OceanBrowser Ltd, a Dunedin elearning company, using an approach which is particularly suited for courses with complex course content requirements, or where internet access is poor or offline access is required. The principles discussed however are equally applicable to courses using mainstream systems such as Blackboard. The session will include demonstrations of the courses and software discussed, including a live demonstration of web-based audio conferencing, which combines traditional phone conferencing with internet phones. This approach allows teachers to manage an audio conference entirely from a web browser. This Seminar will be of interest to teaching staff, and anyone involved in supporting the delivery of distance courses. Who: Rodney Tamblyn, OceanBrowser Ltd When: 1pm, Thursday 4 October, Where: St. David Seminar Room 2.
