On this podcast, I speak with Dr. Keith Thurgood, retired Army two-star general and currently the Program Director of the Healthcare Leadership and Management Program at the University of Texas, Dallas.
In this episode, Dr. Thurgood shares his rich leadership experience, from the military to Fortune 200 companies and healthcare organizations. He explains how having skilled leaders and good strategies go hand in hand. We dig into his journey, getting deep insights into how leadership principles and organizational success work together.
We focus on the idea of self-leadership—Dr. Thurgood believes that true leadership comes from personal honesty and character. He emphasizes the importance of aligning personal values and morals. For leaders at any level, he suggests making intentional choices, using personal strengths, and understanding how self-leadership can strongly influence and guide others.
