Bonus Episode: Leading Yourself and Teams through COVID-19 with Kenny Gardner

March 20, 2020

 


In this week's special episode, Kenny Gardner, DaVita's Chief People Officer, shares some tips and resources on how to lead teams through COVID-19. This podcast was recorded remotely from three different locations.


Kenny has been a DaVita teammate for nearly a decade, and has become a veteran at handling emergencies and crises, particularly hurricanes in the southeast region. He shares what's top of mind for our senior leadership team and their approach to supporting our global Village during COVID19. He also describes how challenges "without a playbook" can lead to stress, and how important it is to take care of yourself by checking in with friends and family, and remembering to laugh with your team and loved ones. Kenny's advice is to lean in the direction of optimism, and know that as a Village, we will get through this together.
