Now scheduling participants for a research study about agile leadership principles through stages of crisis in the nonclinical, business and administrative areas of the healthcare industry.

I'm seeking 15-20 executive or upper-level healthcare administrative leaders to participate in confidential 45-60 minute interviews about their crisis leadership experiences. This study does not require any specific information about participants or their organizations, only their opinions and perceptions about the topic.

You might be a fit if you:

Lead in nonclinical healthcare areas (operations, finance, IT, HR, strategy, risk management, business administration, etc.)
Have 5+ years of executive healthcare leadership experience
Have led through organizational crisis or significant change
Are willing to share your honest opinion, perceptions, thoughts, and experiences

Details

One virtual interview via Zoom or Teams (your choice)
Audio recorded only—no video required
Scheduled at your convenience through February 28, 2026.
Completely confidential—your identity will not appear in published research
Approved by Walden University's IRB # 12-09-25-1069503

Know Someone Who'd Be Perfect?

Please share this with colleagues in healthcare administration. We need diverse voices—from community hospitals to large health systems, from long-tenured executives to newer leaders who've been baptized by fire.

The crises will keep coming. Let's make sure we're learning from the leaders who've already faced them!

This research is being being conducted by Serina Gaines, a Ph.D. candidate at Walden University researching agile leadership in healthcare crisis management.
