DaVita Leadership Insights

Have you ever felt like you had to make a choice between getting stuff done and leading with empathy? Chakilla Robinson-White, Group Vice President of our Galaxy team, shares stories and tips that can help you do both! Chakilla shares a story about the impact of our most senior leadership at DaVita demonstrating empathy through actionable response to the murder of George Floyd. She also shares stories about times she did not lead with empathy, both at work and at home, and the feedback that has helped her grow as a leader. Her one tip is to reflect on a teammate you haven’t checked-in with on a personal level recently, and schedule that check-in right now!
