Healthcare Executive Leadership

TLN research has found that within the top 40 healthcare organizations, Black executives wait 2-3 times longer to be promoted from VP and director roles than their White counterparts. Upward mobility should not be an issue, particularly at a time when the healthcare industry has committed to fundamental change through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion statements.

Designed to prepare senior black executives for the top C-suite roles within the healthcare ecosystem and overcome the “hiding in plain sight” phenomenon, TLN’s Healthcare Executive Leadership (HcEL) program gives participants tools and techniques to help them advance as quickly as their talent and expertise can take them. 

In this immersive program, Black pioneers in executive leadership join industry experts and thought leaders to learn how to gain visibility and become natural choices whenever the top positions are being filled. 

Recent TLN research found that out of the 40 largest healthcare organizations across four industry sectors, only 8.5% were led by Blacks, none of whom were women.
