Episode 3: Bottom-up Leadership with Dr. John Flannery

In the realm of leadership, there exists no exclusive license to guide. Instead, a leader's purpose lies in constructing an environment that fosters trust, hope, stability, and compassion. Our present discourse centers around the concept of bottom-up leadership, featuring the insights of Dr. John Flannery from the esteemed University Health Network in Toronto. 

Dr. John Flannery has been a specialist in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and physician leader for almost 30 years.  His area of clinical specialty has included the entire gamut of all the physical rehab domains including amputee, burn, electro-diagnostic medicine, as well as all of the neurologic rehabilitation fields. He was Residency Program Director at U of T for over 10 years as well as the lead for the Specialty Committee at the Royal College for four of those years. 

In 2013, he was selected by peers and administrators in the GTA as one of 30 top Toronto Docs; and profiled in Toronto Life magazine (first and only time in Toronto Life magazine history) for his compassionate care and leadership in Rehab. Currently, in his leadership role in the RPS Program, at University Health Network, his main areas of focus include educational system level endeavors.

In this episode Dr. Flannery talks about how his focus on patient care helps him to be a better leader, role model and mentor because that is the goal that unifies them all. His approach is to focus on success on outcomes for the ultimate user (client, patient, student, constituent, etc.), and that everyone shares the same goal and this determines our true measures of success as a team. Dr. Flannery also shares the tools he uses everyday such as Strengths Based Leadership and the Logical Levels.
