Today’s podcast is with Dr Shane Kelly, almost 90 days into his new role as the CEO of Mater Health Services. It was great to get to talk to him at this pivotal time in a new CEO’s tenure in a role, as the first 90 days is often referred to as a critical juncture in a CEO getting a handle on their new responsibilities, team, culture and early goals. I had never met Shane prior to this recording, however he was generous with his time and gave a great account of his career history, lessons learnt along the way and some other insights I am sure you will enjoy listening to and getting benefit from.
