Listen "Episode 165: Leading Through Allostatic Load with Dr. Jason Kuhl"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jason Kuhl, Chief Medical Officer at Providence Medford Medical Center. We revisit a project we did together in Medford that became a model for breaking down silos: getting leaders in a room, listening first, and then building an agenda from what they actually needed rather than what I assumed they needed.Dr. Kuhl walks through how that work continues today through an acute care medical leadership council, an innovation center, and a structured way of thinking about problems that blends structural design and project management. We talk about allostatic load, redlining in our personal and professional lives, and what it really means to “metabolize” emotional trauma as a clinician.We also dig into psychological safety—how reporting systems can be weaponized, why tough conversations still matter, and how leaders model personal fallibility so teams feel safe speaking up without drifting into false harmony.Subscribe to Karl’s Leadership Writing.👉 Who is Karl Pister?👉 Follow us on LinkedIn.👉 Have access to leadership materials that will level up your game.👉 Contact us on our website.👉 Subscribe to Karl's YouTube channel.Ready to level up your leadership skills?
