The Alliance Conversation Series
Choosing to Lead: Lessons in Healthcare Leadership
Presented On:April 17, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm• EST

Join Dennis Wagner and Dr. John Scanlon, authors of the recently-published book, Choosing to Lead, as they demonstrate how to use a set of clear, practical leadership mindsets and methods to make good leadership choices in the four domains of Intent, Being, Language and Roles. A number of the leadership stories and methods profiled feature the work of OPO, donor hospital and transplant program leaders and patients in the organ donation and transplantation community of practice.

Both Dennis and Dr. Scanlon were among the key leaders involved in conducting the Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaboratives and in the work that led to creation of The Alliance.

Using these mindsets and methods in Choosing to Lead will lead not only to greater effectiveness and results but also will precipitate greater joy. This concept of joy is one you will seldom, if ever, encounter in other management or business school case studies or workshops. But it is real, it is contagious, and it is a force spurring results and connections never imagined.

  • Participants will learn how to create the kind of work and life experiences that others will always remember – in good ways. Gain insight on how to resist the natural temptation to disqualify ourselves from leadership.
  • These lessons can help each of us to join with the people whose leadership journeys are profiled in the pages of this book. We can get onto an upward spiral in work and in life where we choose to reach for purpose and joy.
  • Leadership is not determined by our social status or job title; it’s determined by the choices we make. The concepts outlined in Choosing to Lead are about leadership that lifts up ourselves and others. It is that lift that makes it so effective and joyous.
