“Relationships are like a bank account – you have to put credits in, and when you need something, you’re able to withdraw. So forming relationships is about doing the right thing by people, and when you need them, they often will do the right thing by you.”
In this episode, you’ll hear from Daniel Hunter, CEO of HealthShare, NSW, on staying the course, leveraging your networks and being grateful.
HealthShare is the largest public sector shared services organisation in Australia. It is a statewide body of more than 6,500 employees who support the delivery of patient care in NSW Health. On any given business day, HealthShare NSW:
- Serves more than 65,000 meals to patients
- Supplies 110 tonnes of clean linen to hospitals
- Manages the pays of 146,000 NSW Health employees
- Processes for NSW public hospitals nearly 12,000 accounts payable invoices valued at $72 million
We talk all about:
- How the ‘command and control’ CEO is being replaced by a humble, empathetic one
- Bringing a sense of purpose to the organisation through story-telling
- Giving your leaders and their teams some space to achieve the organisation’s goals, and
- Getting comfortable with uncomfortable conversations, and avoiding wasting time on people who don’t want to develop.
