In this episode you will learn: Why collaboration is a crucial aspect of leadership communication. Asking for help can lead to better decision-making and empower the team. Missed opportunities can occur when you don't speak up or advocate for your ideas. Taking risks in marketing, such as combining digital and physical outreach, can yield positive results. Follow-up and proactive communication are essential to ensure ideas are considered and implemented. Laying out the cost, timeline, resources, and expected results can make new initiatives seem more manageable and increase stakeholder buy-in. Delegation is a valuable skill that can lead to more efficient use of time and leverage the expertise of team members. Speaking up and dissenting, even as the lone voice, can lead to better outcomes and the exploration of alternative ideas. Updating your resume with future goals in mind can help set a clear vision and guide your career path. The dynamics of a team and effective collaboration are crucial for achieving success in projects and goals. Being adaptable and able to laugh at oneself is important in navigating unexpected situations and maintaining a positive attitude.   About Kate Experienced technology-savvy executive adept at navigating dynamic regulatory and reimbursement landscapes.
