In this episode, I speak with Dr. Farrokh Farrokhi, a neurosurgeon in Seattle, Washington, and who is affiliated with Virginia Mason Medical Center. As a surgeon, Dr. Farrokhi notes that admitting mistakes and seeking feedback from colleagues can help flatten hierarchies and improve the quality of care. He cites the success of a coaching program he launched where surgeons observe and coach each other, resulting in decreased complication rates, improved morale, and reduced burnout.

Thank you Dr. Farrokhi, for sharing your valuable knowledge and leadership insights in the healthcare arena.
