Embracing Playfulness Part 1: The Vulnerable Leader

Ever wondered how a hospital could be a hotbed of hilarity? Join me, Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis, and my esteemed colleagues Tom Carr and Joe Fangman from Craig Hospital, as we take you behind the scenes of a place where joy is just as important as the therapies.
Leadership can be a high-wire act, but what if the secret to balance was a willingness to clown around? We dig into how embracing vulnerability and endorsing fun can shield against burnout and create a workplace where employees are eager to clock in. From trike races to laughter-filled meetings, discover how our leadership's commitment to mirth cultivates a work environment where innovation thrives and staff feel empowered to bring their whole, whimsical selves to the job.
