In this episode of the Healthcare Plus Podcast, host Dan Collard continues the conference preview series for Rewiring Healthcare: Foundation to Future (April 28 - 29, Atlanta) with Kay Kennedy, co-founder of uLeadershipÒ and a leading voice behind the Human-Centered Leadership movement in healthcare. Kennedy shares updates on the newly released book, Human-Centered Leadership in Health Care: The Revolution Continues, published in partnership with the American Nurses Association. The book builds on the original theory of Human-Centered Leadership and extends it into practice highlighting real-world implementation, outcomes, sustainability, and research emerging from healthcare organizations across the country. The conversation previews Kennedy’s expanded role at the upcoming conference, where uLeadership will host breakfast and lunch breakouts, as well as a main-stage session. Together with colleagues Lucy Leclerc and Susan Campis, Kennedy explores what changes when leaders truly internalize the principle: it starts with you, but it’s not about you. When leadership becomes human-centered, how leaders spend their time, engage their teams, and make decisions fundamentally shifts.
