Conversations with the CEO: “One leader at a time”
In any organization, the CEO sets a clear vision of what he aims to accomplish and achieve for the institution. With excellent management skills, he can drive the company forward if he has a team of good leaders who share in the vision.
Dr. Eugenio Jose F. Ramos, The Medical City’s President and CEO, expresses it more succinctly: “My role as CEO is to create a vision with my team and set the directions leading to the vision. With The Medical City aiming for leadership in healthcare, establishing Centers of Excellence in various medical specialties is key to our success. Through the various institutes established so far, we are making big strides forward. These institutes need excellent leaders, and the ones currently leading them have the power to make things happen. I am with them in their respective institute’s journey. Having regular conversations with them is mutually enriching, and provides unique nuances that only serve to make the journey more exciting.”
Dr. Ramos emphasizes that communication plays a huge role in bringing the vision to reality: “As leaders we should be able to communicate well what we have inside us; what we imagine; what we see, and how we can actually achieve the vision. There are stories to tell, and there is no better way to tell them than to engage in a conversation with people who know what they want and how they plan to get it.”
Communicating a vision is not a one-way endeavor. The vision takes on new colors and acquires new facets when communicated through conversations. Thus, Dr. Ramos has recently conceptualized and produced a series of podcasts, “Conversations with the TMC CEO,” that aim to encourage meaningful exchanges and a “meeting of minds” among the leaders and major players in The Medical City. He elaborates: “By listening to these conversations, it is my hope that the substance and value of the exchanges would serve to inform, enlighten and even inspire those who listen..”
“Conversations with the TMC CEO” will draw focus on anything and everything that are of relevance and value to The Medical City. With the institute directors as his initial guests, one per episode, these podcasts aim to contextualize the many facets of running a healthcare institution carried on in a casual manner – a free-willing exchange of these ideas.
