This episode features Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis, CEO of Craig Hospital, who shares her deeply human approach to leadership shaped by her background as an OB-GYN and lifelong clinician.
She explores what it means to lead in environments where people are at their most vulnerable—and why connection, presence, and compassion are not “soft skills,” but core leadership tools. From hugging patients in the hallway to leading a nationally recognized neurorehabilitation hospital, she redefines leadership as service, not status.
Dr. Allen-Davis also discusses scaling a strong culture without losing its soul, navigating healthcare transformation, and her commitment to expanding leadership pipelines—especially for women and underrepresented groups.
