Podcast: Teaming Up to Innovate

In the latest episode of the Healthcare Executive podcast, ACHE faculty Kevin O’Connor discusses best practices to influence innovative thinking in healthcare. O’Connor, who is a noted educator, coaching professional and author of the book, Fearless Facilitation: The Ultimate Field Guide to Engaging (and Involving!) Your Audience, addresses the misconception that innovation must emanate from leadership. He highlights the important distinction between creativity and innovation, and explains how to get your team actively involved in the formation of new ideas and solutions.
