Josh Block

Josh Block is a Michigan native, husband, father of two, leadership advocate, and author of People Matter @ Work, a new book that reimagines how workplaces can become the most transformative communities in our lives.

Over the last 15 years, Josh has helped shape a thriving, high-performance culture at Block Imaging, the first 12 as a family enterprise and the last 3 as an affiliate of Siemens Healthineers and CommonSpirit Health. Under Josh’s leadership, Block Imaging has grown from 50 to more than 400 team members globally, becoming a model for trust-driven culture and people-powered performance.

Josh leads with a simple but radical conviction: when people matter at work, everything changes — businesses grow, families thrive, and lives are transformed. His message is shaped not by theory, but by three decades of rolling up his sleeves across every level of work, from flipping burgers and selling strawberries door-to-door to leading a company through seasons of change and growth from $30M to $215M in revenue. No matter how big they’ve grown, the company hasn’t drifted from its roots — people first, purpose always. That simple conviction continues to guide every decision and relationship, reminding leaders that when people flourish, organizations do too. Josh’s book and keynotes now extend that mission to encourage, equip, and empower leaders to answer one big question: What if we could create a place where people love to work and become more than they ever imagined?
