Episode 114: Leading Like Alice with Dr. Rob Orman

In this episode of the Healthcare Leadership Excellence Podcast, I welcome back Dr. Rob Orman for his fifth appearance. Rob shares lessons from his article, “From Hot Mess to Night Shift Boss,” inspired by a nocturnist physician, Alice, who thrives in the toughest shifts.

Alice approaches challenges like night-shift sign-outs with energy and efficiency, a stark contrast to the dread many feel. Rob explains how adopting Alice’s mindset changed his own experience. Instead of avoiding sign-outs, he reframed his attitude, deciding to tackle them proactively and efficiently.

Rob highlights three key lessons:

1. Self-Efficacy - Believing you can succeed improves performance.
2. Act As If - Modeling Alice’s behavior helped Rob change his mindset and habits.
3. Learn From the Masters - Observing skilled role models provides a clear path for growth.

Rob connects these lessons to leadership, encouraging reflection and intentional behavior modeling. He highlights that change is a gradual process and requires consistent effort, but it can transform both personal and professional challenges into opportunities.

For those feeling stuck, Rob offers practical tools and coaching to help leaders grow and thrive. This episode is a great guide for anyone looking to enhance their mindset and leadership skills.
