Close your eyes and imagine this with me:
There’s a leadership group working their heart out, delivering A-rated patient care for the sixth time in a row. These healthcare works are putting their heart and soul into caring for their community. I guess you could even say they are on fire. The city is unabashedly raising their voices in a response back to the care. It’s a beautiful moment, for sure. It’s Adventist Health.
The significant learning for me through all my years is that once you get clarity about your calling (your purpose in life), worrying about what you just did is less of an issue. I’m clear that a significant part of my calling is to develop the best leadership team and bring the best care and health to my community. That’s who I am; that’s what I do. And I’m ready to lead the way by saying what needs to be told to disrupt what needs to disrupt—even if it makes people uncomfortable. What needs to be disrupted is the health of our community, we have one of the lowest index health scores in California
My challenge to you is to collaborate with me on this disruption journey. None of us can do it alone. We need all kinds of people with different passions and skillsets who can pass the baton along the journey—from the starting pistol to the finish line—until we make the changes.
So, what will be your role here?
