Leading with Purpose: How Ardent Health Develops Better Leaders to Drive Results and Growth

Many organizations scaled back their leadership development initiatives the last two years. Others knew that strong leaders would be instrumental to keep them afloat in a crisis, navigate disruption, and guide the path towards a better future.  

Ardent Health, one of the largest for-profit healthcare providers in the United States with over 25,000 employees, continued to invest in leadership development as a key priority throughout the pandemic. They knew that better leaders would achieve their purpose of “caring for people: our patients, their families, and one another.” With a clear focus on quality, patient experience, employee engagement, and growth as key outcomes, Ardent Health built top-down support and commitment to develop leaders across the fast-growing organization.
