Power vs. Authority: How to Elevate Your Leadership Impact


Listen Later

As a practice administrator, your title gives you authority—but true leadership takes more than a job description. In this episode of The Practice Leader Podcast, Paul and Zed talk with Meredith Hirsh, CEO of the Hirsh Center and host of the podcast Working Healthcare, about the difference between the authority you're given and the power you earn.

Meredith shares practical strategies for:

  • Building influence that inspires your team to work toward a common goal

  • Delegating effectively without losing control

  • Avoiding micromanagement and bureaucracy traps
