When a life hangs in the balance of a series of quick decisions, failure is not an option. And for Peter Angood, MD, a trauma surgeon and president & CEO of the American Association for Physician Leadership, those decisions must be made in seconds. How do you lead a team under those conditions? How do you adapt your leadership style to the given situation? How do you plan and debrief to improve your communication processes? Though many of us will never have to make split-second decisions where a human life is on the line, there are lessons we can learn from the operating room. On this episode, ROI Podcast host Matt Martella and Phil Powell, associate dean of academic programs at the Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis, talk with Dr. Angood about how leaders can be strong under pressure and how to adapt your leadership style to the situation at hand.
