What if healthcare's staffing crisis isn't really about staffing at all?

In this episode, Elizabeth Jeanes, founder of Jeanes Strategic Consulting and a healthcare leader with more than 20 years of experience in nursing, leadership development, and organizational strategy, challenges one of healthcare's biggest assumptions: that workforce shortages are purely a numbers problem.

Instead, Elizabeth makes the case for rethinking workforce design from the ground up, starting with preceptors, frontline influencers, and the leadership systems that shape culture from day one. Her take? The people are already in your building. We're just not developing them.

Beyond the Blueprint Host Keith Washington and Elizabeth unpack generational intelligence, why quad pay won't fix a broken culture, how preceptor programs should be leadership development, not skills training, and what it actually takes to earn the loyalty of a workforce that's done handing it over for free.

Whether you're building teams, leading culture change, or rethinking workforce strategy, this episode offers a fresh blueprint for the future of healthcare leadership.
