Riddle me this

We joked in 2014 about returning to Glacier to have lunch here again.

 

Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and I have the power to make it so.  – Vala Afshar

 

Summarized understanding of challenges and opportunities from our Summer talks:

  • It’s clear the frontline has great communication with direct leader but there is  poor communication perception with senior leadership
  • Owning the message is an opportunity – if a decision doesn’t make sense, then it’s okay to push back
  • Lack of trust for absence of being transparent – it’s easier to play it safe
  • Stop being short-sighted from a cost perspective
  • People stop asking because the answer will be no
  • Not looking at everything through the patient’s eyes
  • In Town Hall we got the eye roll,” Here we go again” on patient experience
  • How do we work together when we used to compete
  • Recent significant leadership reorg – one property not prepared, the other it was better
  • The Whole Care Experience is AHS’s drive for consistency with history, mission, vision, standards
  • Some Ad Council leaders were promoted and others were demoted (title only)

The above create a significant opportunity to rally around The Whole Care Experience in an inspiring, motivating, and exciting way.

In Disney terms, this is how i define grit

 

In Disney terms, this is how i define grit…

Focus and discipline.

 

Focus on the basics.

Discipline yourself to never get bored with the basics.

Ridiculously simple.

Incredibly difficult.

Until it’s not.

Culture is the collective behavior of an entire organization.

Habits.

Culture is defined in one word

 

Culture is defined in one word.

Habits.

The easier it is to do something, the easier it is to do it again. The easier it is to not do something, the easier it is to not do it again.

Pride in your workplace is unstoppable

Mark Ruis is a successful businessman and yesterday during the Kentucky Derby, the TV spotlight was shown on him for a few minutes.

Why?

His horse is a longshot.

So is he.

He’s an unlikely first-time entrant.

The short documentary about his life highlighted his insatiable work ethic.

And how now – later in life – he tries to get out of as many business trips as possible so he can spend as much time as possible with his Family.

Most executives i know look back and acknowledge the sacrifice they made to achieve what they did – and how now they don’t want to work that hard anymore.

Organizational culture is like personal health: it’s your greatest asset and something you must intentionally focus on for a lifetime.
