One of the most difficult transitions in leadership is moving from representing your function to serving the enterprise. Most managers are rewarded for protecting resources, advancing priorities, and advocating for the needs of their teams. Those behaviors are valuable. In fact, they are often essential. The challenge arises when every leader is doing a good
I had a great conversation in Paris with Bertrand Moal about the future of AI-enabled cardiac imaging and the enormous potential to expand access to care worldwide.
