“If Not Me, Who? Claire Zangerle on Purpose and Leadership in Nursing”
Leading with Hearts and MindsShow Notes
In this episode of Leading with Hearts and Minds, Marie Kilduff speaks with Claire Zangerle, CEO of the American Organisation for Nursing Leadership and CEO of the American Hospital Association.
Claire describes her unconventional path into leadership, from a second career in nursing to leading two of the most influential healthcare organisations in the United States. She reflects on the lessons learned along the way: the value of vulnerability, the importance of finding your “why,” and why leadership is as much about how we lead as what we achieve.
From addressing workplace incivility and burnout to inspiring the next generation of nurse leaders, Claire’s message is both practical and deeply human: nurses shouldn’t just have a seat at the table, they should set the table.

She talks to Marie Kilduff about the mentors who shaped her, what it's actually like to lead a brand-new region with no map and no handover, her vision for a genuinely integrated health service, and how a senior leader keeps going without running herself down, with a returning contribution from her former colleague Paul Gallagher, recorded before his retirement.
