Real Healthcare Innovators Read Outside of Healthcare

I covered this topic in a LinkedIn article recently, but thought the idea of reading outside of healthcare warranted its own podcast episode. Here's the main idea: if you want to be truly innovative in healthcare, you need to read outside of healthcare. Being well-informed in your field is just the baseline. Everyone should be doing that. What often sets leaders and innovators apart stems from their ability to take insights and ideas from outside their field and apply it to their industry.

You’d be surprised at how often ideas from seemingly unrelated fields can unlock new ways of thinking about your own work. A story about survival in the Alaskan wilderness might teach you more about resilience and process management than the latest leadership manual. A deep dive into the history of jazz might shift your perspective on improvisation and problem-solving in ways that no business podcast could.

The more I read outside the typical business playbooks, the more I’m convinced: if you want to stand out in your field, you sometimes have to look beyond it.

What we cover in this Episode:

-Why reading outside of your industry provides unique insights that can be applied to healthcare
-How reading broadly can help you communicate, lead and innovate in healthcare
-The reason that innovation to the industry will come from outside of healthcare
-A few of the recent books I've read and the insights I pulled from them that applied to healthcare
