For Jim Coleman, running a hospital isn’t all that different from taking apart a stove. You just need to understand how the pieces fit together to make the whole thing work.

In this episode, Jim shares what it was like managing 300 employees by the time he was 30, how new roles often found him before he went looking for them, and why a heart attack ended up giving him unexpected mental clarity.

Plus, he shares what it was like to lead Erlanger through its shift to a private, for-profit hospital system.

Jim Coleman is the President & CEO of Erlanger. You can connect with him on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/jim-coleman-9045282).
