In many of the interviews we have conducted with senior healthcare leaders across America, the impact and influence of mentors has been brought up and discussed. In today’s featured segments, Bruce Brandes, founder and CEO of Lucro, and Tony Bohn, Chief HR Officer at Norton Healthcare, discuss this valuable topic.
In the first segment, Brandes discusses how important mentoring is to him and how mentors have influenced him through the years.
“I have been very fortunate to work with people senior to me who were very kind to take me under their wing and give me insights that really have helped me in my career, and by the same token, I have had the opportunity to do the same for others. And I would tell you, from my perspective, I’ve learned equally from both [experiences].”
In the second clip, Bohn gives two pieces of specific advice for those who will become a mentor to others:
-
Mentors should be constructive in their advice and feedback while being direct.
-
As a mentor, you must have really strong intuitive personal skills where you can relate to an individual, not just on a work level, but on a personal and spiritual level.
