Leading Through Listening w/Nancy Blake

Charlene talks with Nancy Blake, chair of ACNL’s Healthy Work Environment committee and Chief Nursing Officer at the Los Angeles General Medical Center, formerly known as the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center. Dr. Blake was recently a panelist at the Healthcare in the Age of Personalization Summit, discussing what nursing can teach physicians and CEOs about leadership. She and Charlene discuss the benefits of listening to and acting on staff ideas, the importance of collaboration in decision-making, and the power of accessibility and in-person leadership.
