Dr. Gaillour’s experience spans over 18 years in healthcare delivery and healthcare technology business management. She previously was Sr. Vice President of Research and Development with HBS International, overseeing new product development, healthcare outcomes research, and clinical effectiveness programs. Prior to that, she served as Medical Director for IDX Systems, leading electronic medical record development and market strategy for the hospital market. Her transition into the business world came after ten years of practicing clinical medicine where she witnessed first-hand the tremendous capacity of her patients to tap into their potential and transform their lives, families, work and community.
During her many years as a practicing physician she was inspired by the resilience and resourcefulness of her patients. Unfortunately this untapped potential sometimes unfolds only in the face of serious illness---when we are forced to "take stock" in our life. Only then do we feel truly free to speak and act with clarity and conviction. But clarity and conviction need not come from crisis. It can happen for you now!
When she entered the business world as a healthcare technology executive she took with her a "life is short" attitude about leadership, business and teamwork:
Life is too short to waste people potential
Life is too short to hold back good ideas because of fear
Life is too short to shrink from speaking your "true voice"
The other principle she holds is that individuals want very much to have an impact, to influence organizational direction and to be part of a grand vision. Business leaders need simply to open the door and invite that commitment.
