“Efforts to enhance the health of the communities we serve is a huge undertaking, and this requires leaders to demonstrate an ecosystem view by focusing resources on understanding the needs of their community.”

“A group has to have the right culture to be able to make a quality partnership. When evaluating whether a potential partner is a good fit, I first look at their leadership team and how they think.”
“I have had to learn to develop patience with the process. I’m a critical care nurse by background, and so I’ve spent many years taking care of the sickest of the sick. Its my nature and inclination to make decisions with the best available information that I have… I’ve had to learn that not everyone thinks like that, some people are much more data driven…”
“Gaining buy-in from stakeholders is really all about making sure their concerns are heard and addressed. Do that and you’ll alleviate a lot of tensions”
“Working through tension points to align on interests takes quite a bit of discussion… You have to dig deeper than the “what” to discover the reasons that are aligned. It is only then that parties can work to find a solution that’s mutually beneficial… which can only occur when there’s mutual respect, transparency, authenticity, willingness to listen, and a bit of humility”
“We need many more people with the ability to foster cross-sector collaboration. This is a skill set that can de developed. The reason these leadership skillsets are so important is because once you create an understanding and accurate perceptions, a lot of the resistance barriers dissipate quickly. I would say that we would all make progress if we had more people who had the skills and capabilities to reach across sectors and put themselves in the other side’s shoes”
