Question: What is the No. 1 principle you uphold and practice to effectively lead a team?

Jami Berger: Every member of the team brings unique knowledge, skills and experience – and a great leader recognizes those differences and embraces them to learn, lead and be effective.

Q: What is one topic or issue you’ve been investing time in to better understand as of late?

JB: Innovations in healthcare, specifically what is the industry doing to leverage blockchain. How can healthcare disrupt the known and current processes – and do it differently, do it better, do it sustainably?

Q: What contributes to better conversations between a health system’s financial and clinical leaders?

JB: Use the analogy “What Makes You Dance” – it is essential to know your audience. In healthcare, the same story for both groups… but its how you tell it that makes the difference. Get to know their unique drivers, challenges, successes – customize the way you tell the story to meet their needs.

At Becker's 4th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable, taking place November 2–5 in Chicago, more than 1,500 hospital and health system executives tackle decisions that determine whether organizations thrive or merely survive: protecting margins under cost pressure, choosing where to grow, renegotiating payer relationships, stabilizing the workforce and proving real ROI on technology. This is where leaders work through them together, face-to-face. Apply for complimentary registration now.
