Episode 110: Exploring Leadership and Respect with Dr. Paul DeChant

Leaders, especially our immediate supervisors, have a huge impact on our daily work experience and our risk of burnout. But what exactly is the relationship between leadership behaviors and clinician well-being? And what steps can an individual physician take to better lead their clinical team? To find out, join my conversation with Dr. Paul DeChant, a healthcare thought leader who spent 25 years as a family physician and five years as CEO of a large physician practice in California. There, he led a five-year transformation on the theme of returning joy to patient care. His areas of expertise are physician engagement, leadership coaching, management system and culture improvement, and physician burnout prevention.
