I Study What Happens After a Leader Does Something.
Harjot Singh, M.D. works at the intersection of leadership, psychology, behavioral science, and medicine.
The questions underneath our work are simple:
How do people react to a Leader?
And what can a Leader do to make things go their way?
Who I Am
I am an executive coach, speaker, and author who helps leaders solve the human problems that keep important work stuck. Since 2016, I have worked at the intersection of medicine and healthcare leadership, and I serve as Faculty at the American College of Healthcare Executives.
The problems I help with are familiar. Your best people are not giving their best. Everyone agrees in the meeting, but nothing happens afterward. Important initiatives keep losing momentum. You keep communicating, but it has little effect. Or the same people problem keeps coming back, no matter what you try.
Problems like these quietly cost you money, trust, reputation, momentum, and create a lot of unnecessary stress. I help leaders look underneath the obvious problem and find the smaller human lever before they spend more money, push harder, or launch another big program.
In my work, I keep coming back to one question: What actually gets people to move?
That question shapes how I work with leaders. Just the other day, I helped a CMO show her CEO and CFO that a measly $10 expense belonged on the same spreadsheet line as nearly $100,000 to replace a physician, and was already working better. Their response: “We never saw it that way.”
That is the role I play: helping leaders see the move that is hard to see from inside the problem. That search led me to develop Leadership Response Science and the Quest Method of Leadership.
After all, you are not in the business of managing leadership “problems.” You are trying to get important things done. My job is to help make that easier - with less force, less waste, and more movement.
“I have already spoken with my team members and have started researching Dr. Singh's approach..”
“Dr. Singh is an excellent instructor. His vast knowledge base and incorporation of storytelling of relatable experiences lend to the strength of this offering”
“I am going to commit to codifying my values as a leader and defining how they would be visualized in behaviors that are consistent with what we learned here today. For example, how do I assess and respond to symptoms of toxic leadership?”
“I have found Harjot's coaching invaluable to both my professional development and personal life. His teaching system is robust, and his style is personalized. The process has helped me to connect with people across the organization in new, more effective ways. I am also better able to navigate a complicated administrative landscape. At the same time, Harjot helped me prioritize and strategize my initiatives in a way to maximize the chances of success. All of this, while improving engagement in my team and helping me to become more comfortable with uncomfortable situations. Not surprisingly, my wife is grateful to Harjot for the benefits of his wise counsel as well. Thank you Harjot.”
