Herman Williams, MD, MBA, is the Managing Director and Chief Physician Executive of the BDO Healthcare Advisory Practice. He is also the author of Clear!: Living the Life You Didn’t Dream of. In two separate incidents, decades apart, Williams suffered cardiac arrests and was saved by friends and bystanders. Those experiences gave him a powerful perspective on life, as well as a clear mission for his work. In the following videos, he discusses authenticity, leadership, team dynamics, and how those things come together to make both individual lives (of patients and employees) and the business of healthcare better.
