WORLDVIEWS

BELIEF STATEMENTS

  • I believe most everyone genuinely wants to do a good job...only few bad apples.
  • I believe healthcare professionals should be hyper empathetic because we take care of clients often when they are most vulnerable and sometimes that means we should excuse their actions.
  • I believe the current US Healthcare System is inherently flawed in its design and that any meaningful reform effort must include a redesign.
  • I believe that no industry should be immune or insulated from market forces and competition because those make us strive to improve for customers.
  • I believe leadership is an active sport and it should not be wasted by inactivity nor exploited by inappropriate activity.
  • I believe in continuous bi-directional performance feedback and practice radical candor 
  • I believe in being as kind to the janitor as one is to the President.
  • I believe we are charged with leaving things better than the way we found them. 
  • I believe that performing groups/teams consistently produce better results than individuals. 
  • I believe the best way to predict the future is to actively create it

SLOW TO HIRE.....

I like to hire others smarter than myself, establish goals and objectives with them that most feel are really a stretch if not unreachable, equip them with necessary direction and resources, and then get out of the way and observe them consistently exceeding their own expectations.
