This week on The TRU Leader Podcast, we're joined by Cathy Carroll, author and a third-generation leader in her family's business. Cathy shares her journey and insights from her book *Hug of War: How to Lead a Family Business with Both Love and Logic*. After two decades in corporate roles, Cathy returned to the family business, encountering tensions between her profit-driven approach and her father’s investment-focused mindset. The narrative explores the complexities of managing familial relationships alongside business operations, particularly during generational transitions that often lead to conflict due to differing values. Non-family executives also face challenges, exemplified by a COO who felt demoted because of family-driven decisions. Emotional intelligence is highlighted as key to balancing personal relationships and professional responsibilities. Cathy underscores the importance of understanding family dynamics, balancing long-term goals with adaptability, and navigating polarities like tradition and innovation. Governance and succession planning in family businesses require unique approaches, balancing set criteria with flexibility for unexpected talent. Polarity thinking is introduced as a method for managing conflicts by holding opposing truths simultaneously, such as investment and profit harvesting and privileges and responsibilities. Cathy emphasizes that recognizing these polarities and differing perspectives is essential for improving the overall functioning of family-owned businesses, particularly during leadership transitions.

In this podcast, we talk about the importance of finding balance between Holding On and Letting Go as healthcare leaders. We know these are incredibly challenging times and that you are facing things you’ve never faced before or no one has taught you how to deal with them as an emerging or evolving leader. As a result, you rely on what you have learned and experienced in the past about being a leader since there is no blueprint or manual on how to lead during these times. Are we right? That’s why it’s important to have a delicate balance of letting go of the past that is not serving you, so you can move into the future that will serve you best as a leader. In this podcast, we talk about the negative consequences of not letting go of the past and how that is not serving you, as well as some of the benefits of practicing reflection as a leader. We also talk about the ‘stepping-stone’ approach to reflect on milestones in your leadership journey and some of our stepping-stone milestones, and what you can learn from them.

In this episode, we talk about the three new leadership norms to become a Thriving, Resilient, and Unstoppable (TRU) healthcare leader. We know that norms can be good things and helpful in our lives, but some norms may also unintentionally cause pain and suffering. In fact, these unhealthy leadership norms have been experienced by healthcare leaders for many years. That’s why we are on a mission to bust through these unhealthy norms and help healthcare leaders embrace new norms that promote health, well-being, and dynamic balance in their lives. In this podcast, we talk about the importance of being aware and mindful of those unhealthy norms and some of the negative sequences of following the old leadership norms. We also talk about the importance of defining your ‘why’ for your boundaries and some of the positive outcomes if you establish the three new norms in your life.

In this podcast, we talk about the importance of leveraging the polarity of  Self-Reliance and Interdependence as a healthcare leader. We know it’s been three years of COVID-19  and we are now post-pandemic, but we’re still living in a VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) world where we need to be self-reliant and interdependent as we move through these challenging times. In fact, both are equally important for emerging and evolving healthcare leaders to achieve effective and successful leadership. In this podcast, we talk about why leveraging the tension between Self-Reliance and Interdependence requires self-awareness and mindful choices. We also talk about the positive outcomes of Self-Reliance and Interdependence and some of the negative consequences if you over-focus on one to the neglect of the other.
