While a solid strategy is essential to business success, it’s not enough, says Warner Thomas, president & CEO of Sutter Health. If leaders don’t also invest their attention and resources into cultivating a thriving culture built on clarity, alignment and trust, even the most brilliant organizational strategy will falter.

It’s the podcast of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), an international professional society of more than 49,000 healthcare leaders.
