What single thing makes your organization stand out?
Our colleagues. Collectively, our colleagues have an amazing vision,
drive and passion to partner with clinicians to improve the quality of
health care.
What word best describes your leadership style?
Socratic.
Professional pet peeve?
Starting with the reasons why you can’t accomplish something. I’m also
not real fond of folks who don’t hold the door for others, don’t look
you in eye and don’t wash their hands in the restroom.
What do you do to relieve stress?
Play music and exercise. I’m trying to pick up swimming as a form of
exercise, but I’m pretty sure it’s stressing me out more.
What is the simplest thing you never learned to do?
Make deviled eggs. I love to eat them but have never tried to make
them.
Pets?
Phoenix, our 11 year-old miniature Schnauzer.
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?
Our 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Nadia Elise, handed me a picture the other
morning and wished me happy birthday. While it wasn’t my birthday, it
was the best gift I have ever received.
Person outside of your family you would most like to spend time with
on an island?
Nondenominational evangelist Alistair Begg.
You’ve just been given $100,000 to donate to charity. Where would
you give it, and why?
I would have to split the funds three ways among Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation, Alignment Nashville and the Boys and Girls Clubs
of Middle Tennessee.
When faced with two equally qualified candidates, how do you
determine whom to hire?
Attitude: Do they display the characteristics consistent with our
culture, beliefs and work ethic?
What would you like to cross off your “bucket list” next?
A trip starting in Egypt and ending in Jerusalem.
What line of work would you pursue if you couldn’t work in your
present one?
Public office.
What would people would be surprised to learn?
Both of my parents are retired music teachers.
Biggest professional mistake and how you overcame it?
So many mistakes to choose from. I think the most important lesson I
have learned is to surround myself with trusted advisors who will
always be candid with me and help me be aware of and understand my
blind spots.
What is the one trait that most often derails leaders’ careers?
Pride.
They’re making a movie of your life. Is it a drama or comedy and who
plays you?
I’d have to say a ‘dramedy,’ one that covers the gambit of emotions. It
would have to feature Bruce Willis.
What skill would you most like to improve?
Spelling. I never came close to the spelling bee.
