Insights: Navy Commander-Turned-CEO Shares Leadership Strategies for Healthcare Professionals

In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by Mary Kelly, a retired Navy commander, author and keynote speaker on leadership, productivity and business growth. In speaking with many national and state MGMA members, Kelly understands the importance of the change management process, helping myriad practice managers and healthcare professionals embrace change in an industry that’s always evolving. Key quote: “We, sometimes as leaders, have to figure out what change is meaningful and what change is not. So in the medical world, obviously, if it’s regulated and mandated, we have to do it. How you present it to your people is, I think, the leader’s challenge.” You can access Mary’s 5-minute plans at kiwilive.com keyword: dog.
