In today’s brief video segment from the interview with hospital president Traci Bernard, AHL founder and CEO Dan Nielsen asks the question, “What book are you reading, or just got done reading?” Bernard’s answer is a book that she’s read before, but found so impactful she and her leadership team are reading it again: Wooden on Leadership by coach John Wooden.
Bernard explains,
“I just really can embrace the philosophy and how he led his teams and made his players a success. And I think to me what speaks so highly of him is this many years later—and even after he’s gone—what his players will say about him. His players will give him credit for the men they are today. And to me, that’s the best compliment somebody can give somebody, is to say, ‘My relationship with you made me a better person.'”
