“You are the problem,” he stated simply to our cohort of future care providers.

Wait a minute - Did I hear him right? We’re all here to learn about helping others with their problems – people in hospitals, prisons, hospice programs… They’ll talk about their problems, we’ll actively listen, we’ll apply some genuine care along with a few of the techniques to be gained here in this class, and ‘Wa-La!’ – they’ll be well on the way to recovery. So what is he talking about?

Leadership isn't a magic pill or a lucky trait that we are gifted. Leadership Transformation is a process not an event (or a pill!). Leadership takes work. It takes accountability. It takes grit.

In today’s world of sports there is never a shortage of athletes, coaches and executives with enormous egos. With players commanding millions of eyeballs on their social media platforms, they constantly put themselves in the limelight. It gives them what I would say is an opportunity to show true leadership.

At the core of leadership is a desire to pursue a set of actions that create and sustain momentum toward a preferred future. That is what it means to lead positive change. They cast a vision, inspire commitment, cultivate engagement and unity so that they can execute meaningful change. The rewards of creating a purposeful culture that produces positive outcomes are immensely fulfilling. But, it’s naïve to think that the path toward leading positive change is a straight line, especially in health care.

Fall is in the air. That means it’s time to watch college football. If you tune in to a pre-game show or watch the post-game interviews, you will likely hear the word, “execution.” During a football game, offense, defense, special teams, individuals and units fall under scrutiny based on effective execution.

My first exposure to the famous allegory of the cave in Plato’s The Republic in relationship to organizational leadership came via Gareth Morgan’s book Images of Organizations. His introduction to organizations as a “Psychic Prison” captured my imagination. For many years, I have pondered the implications of Morgan’s assertion, “Human beings have a knack for getting trapped in webs of their own creation.” That sparked my interest in leadership and organizational development.
