Try to Anticipate and Solve the Next Problem – Dr. Zeke Emanuel, Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at University of Pennsylvania: To his father’s occasional befuddlement, Dr. Zeke Emanuel’s prolific, eclectic, and high-profile career in medicine, academia, and government has been driven less by strategy than basic curiosity: “I do what interests me at the moment,” he tells host Dr. Rishi Desai. The impulse has at times put him at odds with the conventional wisdom, whether it was espoused by a Harvard Medical School dean or the World Health Organization. But he says his contrarian tendencies have also helped him anticipate dramatic turns in the world of healthcare from emerging bioethical quandaries around end-of-life care, to best-practices for allocating scarce medical resources on a global scale. “Trying to anticipate our problems and trying to solve them: That's been an approach I like to say has fueled my career,” he says.
