Question: What is the No. 1 principle you uphold and practice to effectively lead a team?
Sherri Peavy: Accountability.
Q: As a leader, how do you stay connected to the actual work that is being done – and not just by watching others execute, but by executing yourself? If so, how do you balance between leading and executing personally?
SP: Participate in the project; sometimes I am the PM, sometimes I let others PM and assign a task to me.
Q: What contributes to better conversations between a health system’s financial and clinical leaders?
SP: Mutual respect for each team’s responsibilities and helping each team understand the other’s roles and responsibilities.
