An Private As Well As Organizational Moral Obligation

My buddy Jeff Thompson is stepping downwards every bit CEO of Gundersen Health System inwards a few months.  I remove maintain commented several times hither on Jeff's leadership abilities, which are ane time to a greater extent than demonstrated inwards a Federal Reserve notation he sent to his staff this week.  In simple, straight price he reinforces the narrative that is at the view of his hospital's purpose.  It could live the same role of whatsoever infirmary inwards the world, but it is non oft ready forth too then well.  An chemical cistron of leadership is that the narrative is expressed inwards too then eloquent too elegant a fashion--one that permits all recipients to experience ownership of the privilege too obligation they remove maintain been given.

Dear Colleagues,

We are experiencing many changes every bit an organization. Some are really exciting similar doc Rathgaber taking over every bit CEO inwards September. Others are to a greater extent than of a struggle. There is e'er going to live change, particularly inwards our business.

But it is non the changes that are the close important.  It is how nosotros respond. How nosotros reply to modify every bit individuals, teams and every bit an scheme is what defines us. It volition decide our futures too deed us from proficient to great.

Sounds good, but modify tin live really scary.

Here’s what won't change: Our mission to better care, lower cost and better the wellness of the community. This rises beyond increase targets, fiscal goals too facilities plans. It actually is an private too organizational moral obligation.

To accept on big responsibleness too big changes, it is best to offset amongst a nifty platform every bit a base. The company platform nosotros remove maintain should laissez passer us nifty confidence going forward.  In the confront of higher lineament standards, economical downwards turns, tons of rule too increasing competition, y'all every bit teams too nosotros every bit an scheme remove maintain steadily improved on all of our fundamental strategies.

Going forrard it boils downwards to only a twain of actually big things: Take assist of our patients too accept assist of each other.  The "patient" business office has expanded to "patients, families too communities" too each other needs to include those good beyond our immediate locomote groups to colleagues too partners.

Although changes volition e'er displace or too then struggles, nosotros remove maintain no argue to fearfulness them. We postulate to trust our rigid platform, our clear path too a nifty squad to non only hold upwardly but genuinely excel through the change.

I know nosotros are upwardly for the challenges.

Sincerely,
