Ascension Wisconsin ministry market executive Bernie Sherry joins Marquette University president Michael Lovell and BizTimes Media managing editor Arthur Thomas on the latest episode of Leadership Lens. Sherry discusses some of the challenges of leading a health system through the COVID-19 pandemic, both during the early shutdowns and the surges of cases this past winter. He also addresses how the current challenges in health care, including rising costs and workforce challenges, are facing executives to get more involved in the operational work of their teams. Sherry, who came to Ascension Wisconsin in 2016 to lead the integration of four health systems, also talked about how important communication is during a period of change management.
