In this episode of The Level Up Leader Podcast, host Michael King sits down with Paul Baltes, Director of Communications at Nebraska Medicine, to explore what it really takes to lead with clarity in times of crisis. Paul shares his unique journey from a career in journalism to becoming a communications leader in one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the country. He opens up about what it means to build trust within a team, how internal communication can impact everything from retention to morale, and why storytelling is a leadership tool—not just a PR tactic. You’ll hear real stories from high-stakes moments like the Ebola outbreak and the early days of COVID, as well as practical takeaways for any leader who wants to get better at communicating when it counts. Whether you're leading a startup or a Fortune 500 team, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you show up, how you communicate, and how you build trust that lasts. Paul’s background in journalism laid the foundation for strategic leadership in communications. Trust is non-negotiable in leadership—it’s what everything else rests on. Crisis communication is not a theory. It’s a muscle built through experience and preparation. Internal communication isn’t just HR—it’s a leadership strategy. Storytelling connects people to purpose and to each other. Hiring is more than finding skills. It’s about finding people who fit your culture. Communication must be intentional, strategic, and consistent. Time management is one of the biggest challenges for leaders—and one of the most important to master. Effective communication creates engagement. Engagement builds culture. Culture drives success. "You can't do everything." "Crisis communication is vital." "Hiring for cultural fit is crucial." "It's all about fit." "Building trust is essential." "Time is our currency." leadership, communication, trust, crisis management, internal communication, storytelling, hiring, organizational culture, time management, Nebraska Medicine Website: Nebraska Medicine LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/paulbaltes Website: michaelkingjr.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/michaelkingjr Facebook: facebook.com/michaelkingjr75 Subscribe, like, and follow The Level Up Leader Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere you get your leadership content.
