As Singh leads Cleveland Clinic Martin
Health, he says his roles as president include
providing a shared vision for the hospital;
managing the hospital in a way that focuses on
improving its quality, outcomes, and safety; and
supporting its workforce.
Singh shares some of his best practices that he
uses in his role as president.
“I try to have everyone build a consensus in
order to make the final decision,” he explains.
“I think with shared input and a diverse leadership
group, you can make the best decisions
that you can possibly make. I also tend to make
sure that when we come to a consensus that we
have measurable and actionable items to follow
improvements and hold ourselves accountable to
the outcome.”
Being a good listener is another important skill
that has helped Singh in his leadership position.
“As doctors or as clinicians, we by nature
would like to prescribe something to make
improvements,” he notes. “In leadership, it is
important to stop, pause and to listen to what the
community and stakeholders have to say before
making a decision.”
