The founders ofuLeadership-Dr. Kay Kennedy, CEO; Dr. Lucy Leclerc, chief innovation and learning officer; and Susan Campis, chief wellness officer-are known for creating the Human-Centered Leadership in Healthcare® framework for nurse leaders based on qualitative research. It establishes a healthy mindset and self-care practicesthat prepare leaders to get results through relational leadership.
This acquisition reflects Studer and Collard's conviction that nurses are pivotal players in creating strong, resilient healthcare organizations and demonstrates their commitment to the “people-first” leadership style today's workforce increasingly expects.
“This is a natural next step for us,” says Studer. “We've always valued nurses and sought out their voices, and we've always had a 'people-first' mindset. We have worked in this industry for four decades and have always been committed to creating great places for people to work, practice, and receive care.”
Studer and Collard sayuLeadership's focus on well-being, excellence, trust, and caring dovetails with their own learnings on “where the puck is going” in healthcare.
“There can be a disconnect between what today's talent wants/needsand what leaders sometimes know how to give,” notes Collard. “Together, we can bridge that gap. The synergy we create will help ourclient-partnersget there faster.”
The firms' shared clients will benefit from a common language, proven tools, and a broader set of resources.
Ultimately, HPSG and uLeadershipwill leverage the principles of Human-Centered Leadership to help prepareleaders across the healthcare spectrumfor the future.
“From the minute we started looking for an acquiring partner, HPSG was our first choice,” says Dr. Kennedy. “We've known Quint and Dan for a long time, and based on our observations of their internal values-and the fact that they've always put people front and center-we were confident it was the perfect fit.
“We're thrilled that this partnership will help us expand our reach and amplify our impact,” she adds.
