  • Structured Chaos in a Messy System | John Yip

    Structured Chaos in a Messy System | John Yip
    2026/01/28
    A little playbook, a little Picasso.

    Healthcare is often treated as a hospital story, until you need care at home.

    In this episode of Messy, I am joined by John Yip, President & CEO of SE Health, to talk about leading at the intersection of health systems, digital transformation, workforce innovation, and social purpose.

    John shares how his early work in the digital economy still echoes today, why home and community care is both essential and misunderstood, and what it takes to build alignment across a complex, distributed organisation operating in Canada’s fragmented provincial landscape. The conversation goes deep on COVID-era leadership: uncertainty, moral pressure, scarcity, and the real-world improvisation required when there is no playbook.

    We also explore what “digital transformation” should mean now and how to ensure technology serves care (not the other way around), why safe experimentation matters, and the potential of healthcare data to improve aging and wellbeing. John offers a powerful metaphor from his personal endurance project: “running every street” as a practice of curiosity, resilience, and rewiring your perspective.

    Key themes:
    • Sensemaking across long arcs of change
    • Healthcare as a complex, fragmented ecosystem
    • Leadership in distributed, mission-driven systems
    • Frontline intimacy and relational care
    • Crisis leadership requires improvisation
    • Resilience through exploration and “structured chaos”

    If leadership sometimes feels like chopping wood, this episode is a reminder: the grind is part of the work and purpose is what helps you stay even-keeled through the mess.

  • Universities at the Boundary | Meric Gertler

    Sensemaking and Placemaking.

    In June 2025, Meric Gertler completed a 12-year term as President of the University of Toronto.

    I had the privilege and good fortune to first meet and work with Meric Gertler in 2007 when he was then the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto. What stood out most was his curious, thoughtful, and deeply empathetic approach to leadership.

    Now, 18 years later, I thoroughly enjoyed our "Messy" conversation. A great deal of it explores how sensemaking is a crucial but often unrecognised function of university presidents, involving engaging with communities in all its definitions, interpreting signals, global trends and events to help their institutions understand their role in addressing societal challenges.

    We cover lots more ground in our conversation:
    • Why sensemaking is a non-delegable responsibility of senior leaders
    • How universities build (or lose) legitimacy and public trust
    • What higher education truly owes society
    • Universities as engines of access, inclusion, and opportunity
    • The challenge of fostering real debate & “disagree welling”
    • Leading through the pandemic
    • Navigating geopolitical disruption and social media fragmentation
    • How U of T became a global leader in sustainability
    • Lessons about mobilising change in complex systems
    • Practical leadership lessons on delegation, listening, and sustaining yourself in demanding roles

    This episode is a powerful reflection on leadership at the boundary: between institutions and society, certainty and ambiguity, responsibility and possibility.

    If you’re navigating complexity, questioning institutional purpose, or trying to lead with integrity in uncertain times, this conversation will stay with you.

  • Why global health needs collective leadership | Heather Anderson and David Kamau

    Why global health needs collective leadership | Heather Anderson and David Kamau
    2026/01/08
    Lasting impact happens inside people and adaptation is the critical skill.

    “That trusted network of peers is what keeps leaders standing when the work feels overwhelming.”

    In this episode of Messy with Daniel Atlin, I have a conversation with Heather Anderson (CEO) and David Kamau (Chief Program Officer) from Global Health Corps to explore what leadership really looks like when the stakes are high, the data is incomplete, and the path forward isn’t clear.

    GHC was built on a core belief that systems don’t have agency, people do. It is focused on building capacity in health systems through fostering leadership competencies and skills in early and mid-career leaders in Africa and the U.S.

    David and Heather they unpack how GHC built a “movement” of emerging health leaders across Africa and the U.S. and they do that through tapping into lived and shared experiences, building coaching muscles and a peer community, and harnessing the power of public narrative. They talk candidly about adaptability in crisis, navigating equity and power and preventing burnout in under-resourced systems.

    Key themes of this conversation are:
    - Leadership is a practice, not a position
    - Adaptability is the signature leadership trait
    - Networks prevent burnout and isolation accelerates It
    - Leadership development is a long game where impact doesn’t always show up immediately or cleanly
    - Careers are non-linear and purpose is the best anchor
    - Collective leadership is greater than singular heroic leadership

    We also talk about the relevance of Marshall Ganz’s work on public narrative and its importance to fostering movements and change.
    The work David and Heather do, and the impact of Global Health Corps is impressive.

    If you’ve ever wondered how leaders in a global non-profit keep going in the mess, this conversation is your blueprint.
