Humans instinctively act in one of two ways when faced with a fear stimulus: Fight or Flight. This principle indicates that, when faced with a scary situation, people will either attack the genesis of the fear, or run from it. Leaders attack; but it may not be a natural response to such stimuli for every leader. In this episode, I'm thrilled to have Dr. Robert Beam, Associate Medical Director of Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Winston-Salem, NC, with me as we discuss the topic of fear in leadership. As a healthcare leader with decades in the industry, Dr. Beam will give us his take on the role of fear as a leader, how to handle it, and how to thrive in spite of it.
