In this insightful episode of "Sound Leadership with DJ," we are thrilled to be joined by Dr. Julie Simmers, the CEO and Founder of Dr. Julie Simmers LLC. Dr. Simmers brings a wealth of experience from her prolific four-decade-long career in nursing, where she has served in various roles including flight nurse, ICU, trauma department, and ER nurse. Her leadership journey in healthcare has been nothing short of extraordinary, especially during her tenure as the Executive Director at a large university, overseeing 27,100 students and 300 employees. Her passion for patient safety and quality care has translated into impactful educational experiences for countless nursing students.
Dr. Julie Simmers reveals her leadership strategies and the valuable lessons she has learned from her diverse roles. She delves into the significance of empathetic and practical decision-making, and shares personal anecdotes to emphasize the importance of balancing policies with real-life situations. Dr. Simmers reflects on pioneering the concept of "failure to rescue," which highlights the necessity of recognizing and acting when patients show signs of deterioration—a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of patient care that she is determined to embed deeper into nursing education.
Throughout our discussion, Dr. Simmers underscores the importance of soft skills in leadership and the need for continuous self-evaluation, offering valuable advice on receiving and acting upon feedback. We explore her practice of servant leadership, which involves leading by example and maintaining open communication lines with her team and students.
