Making real change seems a formidable challenge, but the only limitation is in the way we think. That’s right…the answers to positive change lie within each of us and center on the way we think about behaviors, attitudes and the corporate roles we play.
We can all point to poor communication (from others), lack of candor (in others), dishonesty (in others), and turf battles (fought by others) as the root causes of most problems faced by hospitals today. But what if we turn the tables and start to look within ourselves for the forces that will produce positive change?
Chances are you want to make a difference but don’t believe you have the resources to create real results. As a hospital administrator, department chairman, clinical director, or physician leader, you may believe there is something “out there” that will help you make the right choices and have a significant impact. I’m here to tell you, you already have what it takes––if you’re willing to make some personal changes.
These five actions, taken on a personal level, are guaranteed to create radical positive change in your healthcare setting. But remember––to change your healthcare center, you must first change yourself.
