Leadership is about creating opportunity

Leadership is about creating opportunity.

Things in life will either go better than you expect or worse than you expect.

No one has a crystal ball to foresee how life will turn out, so we compensate with imagination, dreams, and hopes.

The good news is things often go better than we expect.

The other good news is that we have a choice – to choose opportunity or to choose defeat.

The unusually early cold front brought snow, rain, clouds and lingering cold temperatures.

i chose to see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Glacier in a special-treat way.

Riddle me this

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

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.

Are you excited enough about death to talk openly?

Isn’t this one of our responsibilities with our personal leadership – as CEO of You, Inc?

To be prepared.

Right?

We’ve learned to not talk about it – passed down from one generation to the next.

It’s like public speaking, it scares the heck out of everyone who’s not experienced with it.

Proverbial, and literally predictable “stick your head in the sand” life event.

Fall at Walt Disney World is amazing.

Fall at Glacier National Park is amazing too.

The landscaping at both is breathtaking.

Great leadership drives breathtaking landscaping.

Nature seems to be led by survival of the fittest.

Is corporate leadership the same?
