Accelerating Physician Leader Impact: Paul Viviano

While the ROI of physician leadership development is hard to quantify, Paul Viviano, President and CEO of Children's Hospital Los Angeles, sees the benefits in many places – from better care to improved team culture to, importantly, happier physicians. "We demonstrate to all of our team members . . . that we care about them," Viviano says. "The organization wins, the physician wins, and healthcare writ large wins," he says.

In this Accelerating Physician Leader Impact podcast – part of WittKieffer's Impactful Leaders series – Viviano speaks with WittKieffer Senior Partner Michelle Johnson and Principal Mike Anderson, M.D., co-Executive Director of the Physician Leadership Institute. They talk about the headwinds facing healthcare today and how, at CHLA, physicians are more inspired to work together to provide excellent care and move the industry forward. They also discuss CHLA's leadership development programs which offer aspiring and current physician leaders the opportunity for 360-degree feedback, coaching, and customized growth plans. They conclude with Viviano's advice for other leaders who, like him, must decide how to make the most of 24 hours each day.
