Challenging the Status Quo with the CEO: Philanthropy and Healthcare Leadership

In the complicated world of healthcare, the demands on a CEO are more than ever. And without fundraising education and training, CEO’s are being asked to actually lead the hospital regarding community engagement and philanthropy—and in most cases not meeting the mark. In this book written to CEO’s (and the C-Suite) for CEO’s, Vibrant Vulnerability: Mastering Philanthropy Today and Tomorrow’s Healthcare CEO, author Randall Hallett explores the challenge and pushes into the key aspects of philanthropic success from the CEO’s perspective. Edgy, honest, and pushy the envelope, Hallett, in his book, compares the healthcare CEO to the university Chancellor/President in terms of time spent on philanthropy activities, the proper relationship with the CDO, how to properly integrate philanthropy into strategic planning, and more. In this conversation, host Jay Frost will speak to Hallett about the book, its content, and the critical role of the CEO in philanthropy.
