How important is it to have a teamwork mentality in medicine? What values does humanitarian work add to someone’s perspective, and how can it affect their entrepreneurial career? How can we, as MDs, take action steps towards better care at the end of the day and make a positive influence in the most straightforward ways? This episode answers all these questions and more as we explore Dr. Naji Gehchan’s journey of growing up and working in settings of war and tension and how he overcame these challenges. Naji is the co-founder of Sohati, a healthcare startup serving the Middle East, and the host of the podcast “SpreadLove In Organizations,” where he interviews leaders from across the globe on their personal stories and how they spread love in their organizations for people to feel safe to thrive and deliver positive impact for the company’s stakeholders. He holds an executive MBA from MIT Sloan. If you've found our podcast helpful, buy us a coffee!

38- Physician-Entrepreneur Series: Naji Gehchan (Sohati)

Naji Gehchan, EMBA ’22 joins Christopher Reichert, MOT ’04, to talk about the life experiences that led him to study medicine, and eventually start Sohati, a comprehensive website in Arabic that provides information about the health medical field, and informs his oncology work at Eli Lilly. Naji talks about his chronic condition, which he calls “Impatientitus” and how he balances purpose with speed to build a team culture where he is striving to get things done fast while at the same way the team shares a thinking process, what they believe in, and remains open to one another.  He also hosts a podcast called Spread Love io, started while at Sloan, dedicated to highlighting the stories of leaders on how they spread love in organizations for people to feel safe to thrive and imagine a better world. Naji shares his insights after interviewing over 80 leaders. Finally, Naji talks about the experience of finally arriving on campus, after the mostly remote experience due to COVID, and the strong community of classmates and faculty that they built in that unique educational environment. Naji explains how MIT pushed him to go even deeper in thinking about his leadership style, leadership signature, and leadership beliefs. Support the showThanks for listening!
