Collaboration in healthcare teams is becoming the “go-to” strategy for solving some of the thorniest problems facing the industry. While critical to success, collaboration is no easy task. Clinical care and medical research have become more complex and specialized, requiring multi-disciplinary teams to come together often from multiple organizations. Healthcare systems, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical companies, and health technology start-ups are forming, merging, and/or being acquired at an increased pace. Because of this, administrative, clinical, and executive teams are being tasked with collaborating in new and different ways.
At The Leadership Development Group (TLD Group) we believe workplaces, especially those in the health ecosystem, have entered a pivotal moment in time. COVID-19 has further heightened challenges around employee mental health and well-being in workplaces. Intrigued by the topic, we enlisted the help of expert Z. Colette Edwards, MD, MBA, Humana’s National Medical Director, Associate Health and Well-Being.
In this blog, Colette shares her insights for leaders looking to open the door to more conversations around stress and mental health within their organizations.
Across the healthcare sector, patient care is at the center of all that we do. Based on our leadership development and executive coaching work with health systems, we know that authentic and collaborative leadership is the key to providing and advancing high-quality, value-based care.
Executive Coaching is designed as a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires leaders to maximize their personal and professional potential. At TLD Group we take our commitment to this philosophy seriously. As a health ecosystem talent development firm, we have designed our coaching solutions specifically with health industry leaders in mind.

Pre-COVID, many of us viewed our primary care, specialist or hospital-based physicians as trusted and skilled professionals in their crisp white coats with the embroidered logos of their practices or larger, parent health system.
As a firm, we strongly support the notion that diverse leadership is critical for organizational success. A discrepancy between the prevalence of women in the pipeline and absence of equal representation in advanced leadership roles, highlights the need for organizations to correct the strategic, structural, and cultural components which impact diversity, inclusion, and equity.
