Welcome to Episode #41 of Habitual Excellence, presented by Value Capture.

Our guest today is Dan Varum, an Executive Coach with his company Varnum Group. After 30+ years as an executive leading large and small healthcare organizations, Dan has shifted his time to focus exclusively on my passion – developing executive leaders to reach their full potential.

Dan has a Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering from Iowa State University and a Masters in Business Administration from Drake University.

In today's episode, host Mark Graban talks with Dan about topics including:

• What are you currently doing and what role did you retire from?
• How has an education in industrial engineering and business helped you in your career path?
• Why get an MBA vs MHA or MPH?
• Why are projects not enough to change culture?
• From small improvement projects to changing culture, the same principles apply: following your values – humility / respect, transparency and trust
• Why is developing people such a passion for you?
• What’s the leader’s role in creating culture?
• Why does culture beat strategy?
• Why is self awareness such an important leadership trait?
• Why is leadership development, especially for MDs, so crucial?
