Welcome to The Table podcast, where we gather the most insightful voices in healthcare to discuss the pressing issues and innovations shaping the industry.

In this episode, The Health Management Academy's CEO and host of The Table Podcast, Renee DeSilva, sat down with Tammy Daniel, the Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at Baptist Health Florida. Tammy shared her invaluable insights on how to support existing nurses on their professional and leadership journeys, as well as exploring innovative strategies to cultivate the nursing pipeline.

Under Tammy's leadership, Baptist Health Florida has taken a deliberate approach to early-career leadership development. They've implemented programs like an internal nurse manager academy and upskilling initiatives to prepare existing talent for specialized, technical roles. This forward-thinking approach recognizes the need for creativity and innovation in addressing the complex challenges of the nursing workforce.

Tammy also shared her insights on the role of mentors in identifying strengths and helping individuals recognize their blind spots—a powerful aspect she aptly calls "the power of the nudge" and explored the importance of adapting management and communication styles based on the audience and responsibilities at hand, emphasizing that effective leaders must be flexible and adaptive.
