LISTEN: Why Health Care Needs Entrepreneurial Leaders Now

Listen

What if the single most important reform in American health care has nothing to do with policy, technology, or funding and everything to do with how we train leaders to think like entrepreneurs?

Dr. Errol Norwitz, executive director of the Kerry Murphy Healey Center for Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Babson College, makes a bold and urgent case that the people who understand health care’s problems best, frontline providers, already hold the solutions but lack the entrepreneurial mindset and permission to act on them.

In this seventh episode of Season 2 of Babson’s podcast, “From Problems to Possibilities: Entrepreneurial Leadership in Action,” Norwitz challenges the next generation of health care leaders to stop stumbling into the field by accident, and instead choose it early, question everything they’re taught, and build the courage to drive change from the inside out.

The episode is available on Apple, Spotify, and Amazon, and you can listen here:
