Embedded Leadership In Action
Episode 51
Friday, 28 November, 2025
Send us a textLeadership gets real when learning is baked into daily work. We explore how to turn existing systems—incident command drills, compliance training, audits, and planning cycles—into a living leadership lab that strengthens communication, trust, and decision-making without a massive budget. Drawing on deep healthcare experience, we break down how OSHA and FEMA-driven requirements create a common language across nursing, facilities, biomed, and administration, and how unified command with external partners builds clarity under pressure. The result isn’t just readiness for emergencies; it’s a culture where people grow through practice, feedback, and shared wins.We share concrete ways to spotlight emerging talent: create lead roles, hand off sub-teams during drills, and give rising contributors exposure to executives. That visibility accelerates development, balances technical skill with communication, and builds a durable bench for succession planning. You’ll hear how consistent debriefs shift teams from finger-pointing to learning, why interdepartmental drills formalize collaboration, and how frequent reps become a feedback loop that powers advancement. The same playbook applies beyond hospitals: financial audits and annual reporting mirror incident command with defined roles, documented processes, spokespersons, and cross-functional coordination.We also map embedded leadership in customer experience programs, crisis communication protocols, and strategic planning. Each provides structured reps for empathy, risk reduction, and narrative clarity. Throughout, we keep the focus simple and practical: treat recurring processes as practice fields, set clear roles, rehearse often, and measure outcomes to prove value. Want to build leaders where you stand? Start with the systems you already run and let culture carry strategy.Support the showPresented by John Wandolowski and Greg Powell
