6. Leadership Can Be Lonely

Annie Giagni is the Interim Director of Nursing at Exceptional Community Hospital in Maricopa, AZ. Annie grew up in West Los Angeles, and lived the quintessential west coast dream as a surf instructor, aquatic athlete and ultimate beach girl. After moving away from LA, completing 2 bachelor's degrees in 2 different states and working an array of interesting jobs Annie landed in rural Arizona working in hospital administration. The path to get here, although not easy, was a natural progression and culmination of all of her unique past experiences. We talk about caring for your employees like a healthy family, leadership loneliness, and the importance of empathy and compassion in your work.
