Episode 126: Getting the Job Done with Kevin Torf (Part 1)

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Torf, CEO of T2Group and author of Getting the Job Done. Kevin didn’t come on the show to promote his book, but after reading it, I knew our listeners needed to hear about it. This book isn’t just theory—it’s 174 pages of actionable insights that leaders can apply immediately.

We start by diving into Kevin’s background, from growing up in Johannesburg and learning electronics from his father to launching his career in technology and eventually moving to the U.S. He shares how he became immersed in healthcare IT, leading complex projects like migrating entire hospital systems to the cloud. Kevin explains the massive challenges of implementing new technology in hospitals, ensuring systems work seamlessly without disrupting patient care.

Beyond technology, we get into the core leadership challenges that healthcare professionals and leaders in every industry face. Kevin discusses the difficulties of stepping into leadership roles without training, how to manage strong personalities and egos, and how to break down silos in high-stakes environments. He introduces a fascinating Montessori-style approach to team leadership, where experienced professionals learn from those with fresh perspectives and vice versa, creating a culture of shared growth.

Kevin also shares practical advice for problem-solving and decision-making. He explains why overthinking leads to procrastination, how leaders can avoid analysis paralysis, and why momentum is the key to making progress. He introduces his PROJETS framework: Planning, Reflection, Organization, Juggling, Empowering, Communication, Teamwork, and Standards, which he outlines in his book.

This episode is filled with real-world leadership lessons, from navigating tough organizational dynamics to handling major projects with confidence.
