This episode is all about leadership.

Everyone in hospice is a leader, and being a leader is completely different than being a boss. 

In this episode I provide some practical advice to help make sure we never lose our perspective on what our nurses go through every day. I encourage administrators and clinical directors to do ride alongs with a field nurse at least twice a year. 

I spend quite a bit of time talking about avoiding spending a lot of time trying to place blame for agency failures. In a very strange turn of events, I spend time talking about the dangers of gaslighting when trying to always place blame when mistakes happen.

 At the end of the show I recommend the following books to help us all grow as leaders.

Leaders Eat Last - Simon Sinek

The Speed of Trust - Stephen Covey

It’s your Ship - Michael Abroshoff

Developing the leader within you - John Maxwell

Developing the leaders around you - John Maxwell

Becoming a person of influence - John Maxwell

The 21 Irrefutable laws of leadership - John Maxwell

The 8 paradoxes of great leadership - Tim Elmore

In a pit with a lion on a snowy day - Mark Batterson
