In today’s segments we revisit a very important topic by Mike Williams: mentorship. The influence of mentors has been discussed by many of the leaders featured on America’s Healthcare Leaders and this platform is meant to be a form of mentorship connecting those who wish to pursue a higher career to those who have already established their careers.
Both of the segments today feature Mike Williams, president & CEO of Community Hospital Corporation (CHC). In the first segment Williams discusses the three individuals who have been his mentors: Ben McKibbens, Dan Wilford, and Boone Powell Jr. Williams openly talks about the impact each of these men have had on his life and career path.
In reference to Ben McKibbens, William says,”He is a true gentleman and was the role model that I used to distinguish how I would treat other people.” The mentors you choose will have a lasting impact on your life personally and professionally.
In the second segment, Williams gives advice to healthcare administration graduates:
“So many young graduates are taken by the dazzle, the size of the organization, the location, the individuals and the notoriety that they may have within that organization versus where are they truly called to serve.”
Williams encourages you to find your passion and then pick an organization that will allow your passion to grow!
