In this wide-ranging and direct conversation, Bill George, former Medtronic CEO and Harvard Business School professor, offers a disciplined framework for leading in conditions of persistent volatility. Drawing from decades of leadership experience and research, George emphasizes that leadership today is no longer about managing processes, it is about confronting ambiguity, enabling experimentation, and sustaining purpose across shifting conditions. Five themes stand out: Opportunity Must Be Created, Not Awaited. George argues that emerging leaders should not wait for promotions or formal permission. Instead, they should identify unaddressed problems, volunteer to lead, and deliver results without demanding titles. Career growth, he suggests, is a function of action, not seniority. Innovation Begins at the Front Lines. Whether referencing his early decision to cancel a Medtronic pacemaker program that lacked patient benefit, or urging leaders to spend less time in conference rooms and more with customers and staff, George insists that enduring breakthroughs stem from direct observation and empathy, not from internal data analysis alone. Risk Tolerance Determines Strategic Renewal. George contrasts firms that institutionalize risk such as Medtronic's venture incubation model, with those that allow internal resistance to block change. Innovation, he asserts, must be structurally protected from corporate inertia, and leaders should be judged on the courage to champion unpopular ideas that later prove transformative. Culture Must Reward Learning Over Defensiveness. Drawing parallels between U.S., European, and Japanese innovation cultures, George critiques over-regulated, failure-averse systems that suppress experimentation. True progress, he says, requires the willingness to learn through trial, adaptation, and even initial failure. AI Is a Strategic Imperative, Not a Cost Play. Rather than using AI to drive out labor costs, George advocates for using it to rethink business models entirely, supporting frontline autonomy, enabling new services, and unlocking unmet needs. He cautions leaders against adopting a defensive posture and urges them to fund experiments that explore the true potential of the technology. Throughout, George offers a leadership mindset anchored in authenticity, courage, and customer-centric design. His advice is clear: future leaders must raise their hands, operate at the edge, and move fast before the window of relevance closes.

In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Etienne Nichols and regulatory expert Mike Drues take a critical look at the FDA's Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database. While intended to serve as a vital tool for post-market surveillance, the MAUDE database is fraught with issues—from late reporting and missing data to unclear mission alignment. Mike challenges MedTech professionals to rethink how we engage with the system, exposing how widespread underreporting and data hygiene problems not only weaken safety efforts but also increase legal risk. This eye-opening discussion reveals where the breakdowns are occurring, who's responsible, and what industry and regulators can do to fix it.Key Timestamps[02:30] What is the MAUDE database, and why does it matter?[06:10] The critical difference between reportable and non-reportable adverse events[11:20] Limitations of MAUDE: Why FDA warns against using it for rate comparisons[17:45] Underreporting, late submissions, and missing data: The disturbing stats[25:00] High-profile companies dominating late reporting violations[32:10] Legal consequences: What expert witnesses look for in MAUDE data[38:50] Is it poor systems or lack of regulatory understanding causing failures?[46:00] Recommendations for manufacturers: What responsible reporting looks like[53:20] How FDA could modernize the MAUDE database to better serve patients[1:01:30] Carrots or sticks: Creating incentives vs. penalties for compliance[1:09:00] Final thoughts: The true mission of MAUDE and how to fulfill itStandout Quotes"A report in the MAUDE database is just a historical record. It doesn't say why it happened or who's at fault—just that it happened."— Mike DruesThis quote underscores the limited utility of MAUDE reports and why interpretation requires caution."If you're not a medical device professional without your tools, then you're not really a medical device professional."— Etienne NicholsA poignant reminder that compliance and quality are human-led, not software-enabled by default.Top TakeawaysLate Reporting is Widespread and RiskyNearly 30% of MAUDE reports are filed late, with 10% submitted more than six months past due. This creates legal exposure and potential patient harm.MAUDE Is Misused—Despite FDA WarningsManufacturers commonly use MAUDE for competitive analysis or trend detection, even though the FDA explicitly warns against it.Three Companies Account for Over Half of Late ReportsLarge, well-resourced companies like Medtronic and Becton Dickinson are responsible for a disproportionate share of noncompliance.Electronic Tools Help, but Culture Matters MoreSoftware can support MDR timelines, but organizations still need internal processes and urgency to act responsibly.FDA and Industry Both Need to EvolveSuggestions include AI-driven cross-referencing, tiered reporting urgency, and incentive-based compliance recognition.ReferencesFDA MAUDE Database21 CFR 803.16 – MDR Reporting RequirementsEtienne Nichols on LinkedInMedTech 101: What Is MAUDE and Why Should You Care?Think of the MAUDE database as a public logbook of adverse events involving medical

Minnesota has the highest rate of people working remotely in the Midwest, according to the Minneapolis Federal Reserve. More than a third of workers in the state worked at home at least part time in 2023. But now, five years after the pandemic, the great experiment of remote work is shaking out. More employers are calling workers back to the office. On Monday, tens of thousands of state employees who had been working remotely are required to return to work in person at least 50 percent of the time, complying with a return-to-office order from Gov. Tim Walz. Some private companies, such as 3M and Medtronic, also are dialing back their work-from-home policies and President Donald Trump has sought to end remote work for federal workers.MPR News host Angela Davis discusses what we've learned about remote work — when it works and when it doesn't — and what its future might be. Guests: Chris Farrell is a senior economics contributor for MPR News and Marketplace. Colleen Flaherty Manchester is a professor and faculty director of the Center for Human Resources and Labor Studies in the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.

Diabetes Dialogue: Therapeutics, Technology, & Real-World Perspectives
In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, co-hosts hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and co-director of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, discuss significant developments in diabetes care from May 2025, including Medtronic's restructured business model, Sequel Twiist's technological collaboration with Abbott, and Breakthrough T1D's efforts to advance early detection of type 1 diabetes (T1D) through national screening initiatives. The discussion opens with news of Medtronic's decision to spin off its diabetes division into a standalone entity, currently referred to as “New Diabetes Company.” While the final name is forthcoming, the move is intended to streamline operations and accelerate innovation within the diabetes space. The hosts highlight the company's promising technology pipeline, including the forthcoming 800 series insulin pump with full smartphone control and plans for a tubeless insulin delivery system. Both experts express optimism that the independence may foster greater agility in product development, enhance accessibility, and maintain a focus on user-centered design, including for populations with visual impairments. Next, Isaacs and Bellini examine the announcement of the Sequel Twiist partnership with Abbott to integrate continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) into a hybrid sensor, which is expected to function similarly to the FreeStyle Libre 3. This device, still in development, will provide real-time data on both glucose and ketone levels—a critical advance for people with type 1 diabetes using insulin pumps, who are at elevated risk for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). While excited about the potential for earlier DKA detection, Bellini emphasizes the importance of cost-effective implementation and integration with existing pump platforms. The episode concludes with coverage of Breakthrough T1D's advocacy before the US Preventive Services Task Force to support routine screening for T1D autoantibodies. The goal is to identify individuals in early stages of the disease to prevent DKA and misdiagnosis. The hosts note that despite advancements in understanding T1D progression, many patients remain undiagnosed until presenting with DKA or are mistakenly classified as having type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes Dialogue: Therapeutics, Technology, & Real-World Perspectives
In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and co-director of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, are joined by Roy Beck, MD, PhD, executive director of the Jaeb Center for Health Research, to discuss the INHALE-3 trial, an adult study evaluating technosphere inhaled insulin (Afrezza) in comparison to standard diabetes therapies, including automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. Beck outlined his center's transition from ophthalmology-focused research to becoming a key player in diabetes trials over the last 25 years, particularly in technology-driven therapies. The conversation explores inhaled insulin's pharmacokinetic profile—its rapid onset and short duration, which more closely mimics physiologic insulin responses than injected rapid-acting analogs. The INHALE-3 trial randomized adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), including nearly 50% who were on AID systems, to either continue their current regimen or switch to once-daily insulin degludec plus Afrezza for meals and corrections. Surprisingly, Beck highlighted participants willing to suspend AID use to try the inhaled approach, allowing for a head-to-head comparison. The study met its primary non-inferiority endpoint for HbA1c, with outcomes from Afrezza plus basal insulin comparable to those achieved with AID and multiple daily injections. However, Beck emphasized the heterogeneity in response. Approximately 30% of participants switching to Afrezza achieved notably better glycemic control (including greater reductions in HbA1c and less time >250 mg/dL), while a similar proportion performed worse, largely depending on their engagement and dosing frequency. CGM use was required in the study, enabling patients to re-dose Afrezza postprandially as needed, a key factor in those who succeeded. Beck also indicated that overnight glycemic control remained a challenge. While Afrezza performed well during daytime periods, AID systems outperformed it overnight—an expected finding given AID's strength in basal modulation. Weight gain was also lower in the Afrezza group, offering an additional potential advantage. Hosts discussed real-world use cases combining AID with Afrezza, with Beck sharing his son's personal success using Afrezza alongside Tandem Diabetes' Control-IQ in sleep mode, a workaround to prevent algorithmic overlap. He noted future integration could be more seamless with upcoming Bluetooth-enabled Afrezza inhalers or AID systems capable of receiving inhalation data. Safety data showed bronchospasm was rare in the trial, with no confirmed cases attributable to Afrezza. Cough was the most common side effect, generally mild and transient, while active asthma and smoking remained contraindications. Isaacs and Bellini highlighted Afrezza's potential as an underutilized but powerful option in the diabetes toolkit, particularly for patients seeking alternatives to injections or pumps, or looking for greater control over postprandial excursions. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others.

In this episode, I sit down with Shay Domangue, PA-C, whose career path took a bold and inspiring turn — from hospitalist PA/ internal medicine to building her own social media business in elder care to transitioning to marketing development in the pharmaceutical device industry. She's now the Gulf Coast Field Market Development Specialist in the Renal Denervation business unit for Medtronic and is also raising two little humans (with her husband's help).Shay shares what it was like to reach a breaking point in clinical medicine and how listening to that inner voice led her to explore something new. She didn't just walk away — she walked toward a more aligned, values-based life and career.We talk about the early days of entrepreneurship, the emotional and logistical challenges of building something from scratch, and the surprising role that networking played in her transition into the pharmaceutical industry.Shay opens up about redefining success, protecting her energy, and how work-life balance has become a non-negotiable in her new chapter. She also drops some hard-earned wisdom for clinicians who are feeling stuck or wondering what else is out there — especially if you've ever thought, “I can't do this for 20 more years.”This conversation is for you if you're craving purpose, dreaming of flexibility, or just want to hear from someone who's made a major pivot and lived to tell the tale.CONNECT WITH SHAY:Linkedin.com/in/shaydomangueShay's polypharmacy info on TikTok: @elder.care.hubHOPE'S BOOK:Healing Clinician Burnout, How to Revive Your Life and Career (available in ebook and paperback)CONNECT AND SIGN UP FOR COACHING:Hope's Website: www.coachhopecook.comHope's IG @coachhopecookHope's FB @hopeallencookHope's LinkedIn: hope-cook-56041283/Hope's YouTube @coachhopecookEmail: hope.cook@gmail.comLove y'all, and remember: There's always hope!

For women of color, these rates are even higher, with 59% of Black women and 43% of Hispanic women experiencing some kind of heart disease.

US equity futures are pointing to a higher open today. European markets are firmer, following notable strength in Asian markets. Global markets influenced by China Commerce Ministry's remark that Beijing is evaluating the US offer on trade negotiations, which signals China's openness to discussions. The softened tone now is being seen as a latest de-escalation signal following recent reports that Beijing has quietly exempted certain US-made goods from tariffs. Japan also aims to achieve a trade agreement with the US in June, though the country has suggested that treasury holdings are among cards it may use in talks.Companies mentioned: Viper Energy, GE HealthCare, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, JetBlue Airways

In this episode of Work in Progress, Dr. Sally Saba, vice president and global chief inclusion and diversity officer for Medtronic and president of Medtronic Foundation, joins me to discuss the organization's Medtronic Spark initiative, a ten-year global committment to introduce one million students from low-income households into high-paying health tech careers. Technology has transformed the health care sector for the past few decades, from robotics to wearable technology, to telemedicine, and, of course, artificial intelligence. This is creating a huge and growing talent gap in health tech, both in the U.S. and around the world. And the way you do those jobs is also changing. "They say between around 11 million of shortages just within the next four to five years. You add onto that how AI is going to transform and evolve the landscape of education faster than people can keep up," says Dr. Saba. The Medtronic Spark initiative intends to prepare one million workers for those jobs today and in the future. "They say that 65% of students in schools today will work in jobs that don't even exist yet, and 45% of the workforce today will need new reskilling to even be able to keep up with that future." Saba adds. In the podcast, she explains that initiative will focus on students through high school, right before they start looking at their careers. 'We don't want to touch lives, we want to change the trajectory of lives,' Saba says. Medtronic Spark will be a combination of online and hands-on training, with a focus on making it accessible for low-incoming families. It will include three main components: innovation labs for students to tinker with technology, scholarships to help students graduate, and job-ready credential programs in high-demand health care technology roles like clinical mapping and pacemakers. Medtronic employees will be able to get involve by sponsoring students, providing mentorship, and helping designing credentialling programs. Medtronic is in 150 countries and 40% of the initial programing will be in the U.S. Find out more details of the initiative in the podcast, which you can listen to here or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also find our podcasts on the Work in Progress YouTube channel.
