Challenging Gifts

Challenges are relentless and ubiquitous, so no point in running away or hiding from them.

The Universe is generous about challenging us to bring out the strength within, not to weaken us.

Innovation Along with Efficiency

Today it’s efficiency over innovation. We ignore innovation knocking at our door by ‘just doing our job.’ Narrow focus at the cost of big picture results in missed opportunities for innovation.

In the coming era, we must figure out a way to balance both. Or lose out.

Focusing on Relationships

Dysfunction in the workplace can unravel us. Resentment grows when we feel unappreciated, creativity and initiative are discouraged or suppressed, where advancement is linked to factors other than merit, and where short-term financial benchmarks are valued over long-term vision and purpose.

Thriving partnership, when it can be pulled off, is one of the most fulfilling wonders of humanity: combining complementary talents and skills, cooperating in pursuit of common goals, relinquishing immediate visceral pleasures to attain more enduring rewards, creating a collective enterprise that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Building relationships is a dying art.

Reaching Our Prime

Career trajectories tend to have a bell-shaped curve.

At the peak, we get to choose whether to roll down or leap to the next curve.

We decide for ourselves when we’ve reached our prime. Our best days are still ahead of us.

Building Individuals

Position of power brings with it a scepter.

These scepters are so effective that a single wave can build or break a person.

If not intentional about building and nourishing them, we’re risk their demise by our own hands. The strength of the team is each individual member.

Lighting Up the Dark Place

Delighting customers is something any wise professional strives for.

Wrought over those on the other side of the wall, we tend to overlook those whom we encounter in our day-to-day work. The darkest place is under the candle.

If they’re human, they’re mine.

Innovation in Humanity

With shrinking civility and growing differences, it’s tempting to think technology is the source of salvation. Big tech moves are declared ‘transformational’ before results prove it.

Recognize the outsized bravado for big tech and embrace humanity which is central to health care.

Customers go where there’s excitement. They stay where there is love.

‘Will Not Engage’ List

The character of a man is determined by what he does in his free time.

The ‘will not engage list’ is as important as the ‘priority list.’

All-Out

Doing it and going all-out for it feel different because they are.
