Anyone can choose leadership, and it requires bold aims, intentional actions, and disciplined responses to challenges.


In this episode, Dennis Wagner, Principal and Managing Director of  Yes And Leadership, LLC,  and John Scanlon, partner at Financial Transformations Inc., highlight the key themes of their book Choosing to LEAD, like how leadership is distinct from management, administration, and observation. The book presents 12 essential leadership mindsets and methods drawn from years of experience and insights from respected figures. While the book focuses on health care, its principles apply broadly, showing that effective leadership involves adaptability, teamwork, and positive communication. Ultimately, the discussion encourages individuals at all levels to embrace leadership, as it not only improves organizations and communities but also enhances personal fulfillment and effectiveness.


Tune in for an inspiring conversation full of powerful lessons on leadership, mindset, and the choices that drive meaningful impact!
