Dr. Leon Moores sits down with Dr. Stephen Beeson, family physician, leadership expert, and founder of Practicing Excellence, for a compelling conversation about what it truly means for physicians to lead.

In this episode, you'll hear how leadership at the clinical microsystem level can be the most powerful force for change in healthcare—impacting patient outcomes, team engagement, retention, and financial performance.
