Leading with Kindness and Accountability - w. Kenneth Rose

The Leadwell Podcast

Unlock the secrets to leading with kindness and accountability as we catch up with Kenneth Rose, President and CEO of UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook. After 16 years, Kenneth returns to share his remarkable journey from Grand Rapids to Chicago, emphasizing the critical role of genuine care in high-pressure environments like healthcare. Discover how establishing a people-centered culture, grounded in clear mission statements and intentional priorities, can build a robust and accountable team environment where staff members feel genuinely valued.
How do you build trust and morale in an organization? Kenneth and I examine the operational intricacies of an HR department, highlighting the importance of staying updated with team benefits and fostering educational and career growth. We dive into the significance of bi-annual team member engagement surveys and actionable plans designed to enhance workplace engagement and morale. Leaders will find valuable insights into striking the delicate balance between grace and accountability, setting clear expectations, and providing routine feedback. We also tackle the unique struggles faced by leaders who are natural people-pleasers, offering strategies for delivering constructive feedback while maintaining a caring atmosphere.
Kenneth's personal and professional journey is a testament to resilience and growth. From moving to Texas for his first executive role to enduring family highs and lows, his story includes opening a new hospital just before a major COVID-19 spike. Through these experiences, we explore the importance of balancing personal and professional growth, recognizing the dangers of pride and ego, and integrating personal and professional lives. Kenneth's wisdom on empathy, self-awareness, and leading oneself well provides practical leadership strategies that encourage us all to lead with heart and stay blessed. Join us for a conversation filled with heartfelt insights and powerful lessons in leadership.
