@regie.tiu: The comments on that viral video revealed something that should make every healthcare leader uncomfortable. Thousands of healthcare workers from all over the country saying this is exactly why I left. This is triggering me. And the data backs up every single one of those comments. Over 500,000 healthcare workers left the profession in 2021 alone and the numbers have not improved since. Here is what I know after building and leading a healthcare team for over a decade. They did not leave because they stopped caring. They left because the systems and the leaders around them stopped protecting them while they did. There is a massive difference between those two things and until we are honest about that difference nothing will change. I made a decision early in my clinic that my team would never have to face a difficult patient or a hard situation alone. I built real policies, real boundaries and a culture where my people knew that if something went wrong I would be the one standing in front of them not behind them. That decision changed everything. My team stopped surviving their job and started loving it. This is not just a healthcare problem. It is a leadership problem that exists in every service based business where people serve people. And it starts with leaders who are willing to protect their team as fiercely as they protect their bottom line. Share this with a healthcare worker or leader who needs to hear this today, but first, follow me. #HealthcareWorkers #HealthcareCulture #NurseLife #HealthcareLeadership #BusinessCoaching
