In this episode of the Growth Elevated Leadership Podcast, host Julian Castelli is joined by Larry Mathis, former CEO of Houston Methodist and author of Mathis Maxims: Lessons in Leadership.
Larry reflects on his journey leading one of the world’s top medical centers through a cultural transformation rooted in service, accountability, and integrity.
He shares candid stories that shaped his leadership philosophy including how he built a high-performance executive team, led billion-dollar growth, and even paddled a canoe through a Houston flood to lead by example.
He also discusses the importance of empowering employees, thinking long-term, and why “the troops eat first” applies just as much in healthcare as it does in the military.
This conversation offers enduring principles for leadership with purpose and the humility to keep learning at every stage.
