Learn the program that was developed based on the way elite athletes and Olympics athletes remain at the top of their game. This is the same approach taken by musicians, vocalists, artists, chefs and many other professions.

I was asked by AMN Healthcare to deliver a leadership webinar to their subscribers earlier this year. I wanted to do something special and had been making notes on the leadership lessons in the Hamilton musical, so I offered them the topic, “10 Healthcare Leadership Lessons from the Hamilton Musical.” During my background research for the presentation, I learned not only were there leadership lessons in the musical, but also lessons in how Lin-Manuel led his team to create one of the most unique musicals ever. I decided to summarize my findings on his leadership vision in my book. I believe you’ll find it a very enlightening read. By the way, the attendees loved the presentation and I’ve delivered 3 other times since then. Thanks Michelle Bowdich for the request. Contact me to book for your organization.
I’m happy to include Lin-Manuel’s thoughts on leadership vision in the book.

I met Dave at the San Diego airport as were both waiting on our flight to Chicago. He saw my Kellogg shirt and started talking to me about how some students from Northwestern University – Kellogg School of Management consulted with him when his business was growing. I knew about the program since I also took the same class and was involved with consulting another local business while I attended Kellogg. I asked him for an interview for my book and we met at his offices over a lunch of food from the Sweet Baby Ray’s Restaurant.
I’m happy to have Larry’s insights return for my second book on leadership. We met at an ITSMF meeting several years ago. He held the Global CIO position at Deloitte for over 11 years and has always been very forthcoming with his time as he managed challenges all around the globe. Thanks for your leadership insights Larry and enjoy your upcoming retirement.
People often ask me why it is a Path to Elite Level Leadership. I tell them, it’s a path because not everyone will travel it. Everyone will not become an Elite Level Leader. It’s like experiencing a:
Championship or MVP athlete
Award winning performer
World-renowned surgeon or economist
5-star chef
Just as a journey may start on a 4-lane highway. It then narrows to a 2-lane road. Eventually, it it is reduced to a path as there are fewer and fewer travelers.
