“Good To Great” Level 5 leadership: self-effacing, quiet, reserved, even shy - a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will. First who... then what: People are not your most important aspect - the right people are. Confront the brutal facts – maintain faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of difficulties AND at the same time have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality.

Good To Great A culture of discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great performance Technology accelerators: never used technology as the primary means of igniting a transformation. The flywheel and the doom loop: transformations never happen in one fell swoop…build momentum until a point of breakthrough, and beyond
Another Problem • You are the ICU Director. You are approached by the CEO who asks that the CC Service develop an “outreach” program • He just returned from an international meeting on “redesigning” health care and he heard an Australian speaker talk about this.
Does Your Unit Have a Vision? • Leaders provide a clear vision & direction. • Achieving a vision implies change. Leaders must understand the nuances and best practices of the change process. They must know how to build consensus.
Pointing the Direction • If we understand our reality, we can see where we need to go. • Confidence and authenticity come from demonstrated knowledge.
Have You Set “Stretch” Goals? • Leaders set and celebrate goals • Goals should make people stretch, but they must also be achievable. …when the goal is reached, celebrate!
Do You Identify problems? • Leaders openly identify problems. • Anticipate and acknowledge issues … and then effectively deal with needed change. • They build trust by openly admitting mistakes rather than assigning blame. • “Developing an ability to predict, embrace and better manage change are absolutely imperative.” — Web source.
Do You Help Others as Leaders? • Leaders cultivate leadership by empowering others. • Your job is to set clear goals, • If you pick the right team, you don’t need to tell them what to do. Build self-directed teams of responsive and thoughtful colleagues.
Leaders Communicate • They increase communication and encourage others to do likewise, all day, every day. • People hardly ever complain of “over-communication.” • See things from others` points of view and say so. • Speak to be understood, and not misunderstood. Listen. Wait. Listen. Question for clarity and understanding.
