In today’s CMT DocPreneur Leadership Broadcast and Podcast we sit down for Part 1 of our discussion with Dr. Gallaher centered around Building a Great Culture inside a Medical Practice Environment. In the moments ahead we discuss:
- What does it mean to make the Doctor Human?
- How can a Doctor “Just Be”? What would that look like?
- What could it look like for a Doctor to be more Self-Aware and Self-Accountable in their communication with Patients?
Her noteworthy career began after the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded upon re-entry in 2003, killing everybody aboard. Following the tragedy, NASA hired Laura and a team of organizational psychologists to change the cultural influences that were deemed to play a role in the accident. She worked for 8 years to positively influence culture, develop leadership capacity, and improve organizational performance at Kennedy Space Center.
Laura was also hired to help manage the change associated with radical changes in the performance management process and philosophy at Walt Disney Parks & Resorts.
