For the 65th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are talking about teamwork and leadership with Anna Turman, System VP of Region Health at CommonSpirit Health! We kick off this episode by debating what should be the top priority of a leader in our current environment. Then we discuss how CIOs can connect their why with stories while using both IT business language and human language. Next, we take a look at remote teams and discuss various ways CIOs can effectively lead them. We then transition into Turman’s idea of an IT Team of Excellence (ToE) as she explains what that is and how it can be used to effectively lead. Lastly, Turman shares the importance of mentorship as a woman CIO and passes along the best advice she’s ever received in her career.

Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss in this episode:

• What’s the most important thing a leader should be doing in this current environment?
