271: Creating a Positive Culture through Connections

Grow Strong Leaders Podcast

What would it be like to work for a CEO who aspires to be the best example of working together? You’ll hear from someone who IS that CEO in this very special conversation with Darcy Verhun, CEO of Canada Diagnostic Centres (CDC). Darcy sets that intention every day as he works to build a culture of connecting with the team and customers.

Canada Diagnostic Centres (CDC) is an independent healthcare company specializing in radiology and imaging. Before joining CDC, Darcy was the President of FYidoctors, at the time one of North America's fastest-growing companies. He has also held senior leadership roles at Ernst & Young, Grant Thornton, and Cap Gemini.

Darcy’s leadership is based on being a lifelong learner and passionate coach who lives his life with gratitude. He’s used his leadership strengths to create enterprise value through scale and growth. He’s the author of The Freedom of Constraints: Turn Obstacles into Opportunity, written with Marshall Goldsmith and other members of Marshall’s group of 100 Coaches.

Darcy was a founding Director of The Calgary Homeless Foundation, and today he serves as a Director of HomeSpace Society, a non-profit focused on eliminating homelessness.

You’ll discover:

• How Darcy helped reduce the number of projects that had been undertaken at FYidoctors from 120 to 11.
• What happened when the CEO at FYidoctors couldn’t make an important meeting…and what everyone learned from that experience
• Why Darcy went on a listening tour when he joined CDC and his biggest take-aways
• The 10-10 Commitment that increased engagement and results
• What insights from Darcy’s book reveal about the value that constraints can serve
