Never underestimate the difference you make. This statement was born in 1999 as I spoke to a group from Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. I had arrived in the area the night before my presentation. I called my sister and brother-in-law, Kathy and Mike Fitzpatrick. Why?

During the holidays, it’s natural to reflect. That cusp between the end of one year and the start of the next has a way of putting things in perspective. It’s a good time to ask ourselves some questions. Am I taking care of myself? What brings me joy? Are there things I can do more of or less of? I want to share a few thoughts.

Hard to believe, but 2024 is almost over. A good way to wrap up the old year is by thinking about what we might do differently in the new one. How can we set ourselves up to be better, more successful leaders, employees, and human beings in the new year? In thinking how best to answer this question, I revisited some columns I’ve written over the past year. Here are a few actions to focus…

December 9, 2024

You have likely heard the statement that we have two ears and one mouth for a reason: to spend twice as much time listening as we spend talking. It is true. Many of us could stand to become better listeners. Research tells us listening is a skill with positive outcomes for both the talker and the listener. For example, good listening: Improves relationships by making interactions more meaningful. Builds trust. Good listeners are perceived as more…

As Thanksgiving approaches, we think about gratitude. I find that our level of gratefulness shows up in the words we choose. I get to be with people on a regular basis, as organizations ask me to speak at events. I always individualize the content to the organization. One size never fits all. Yet there is one common theme I do find applies to every group. I always ask, “When you are getting ready to take…

November 21, 2024

On the Healthcare Plus podcast, I recently interviewed Leonard Friedman, PhD, FACHE, director of the Executive MHA program at the George Washington University, Washington, D.C. He and his colleague Wayne Psek, MD, PhD, had written an article in Healthcare Executive. The title, “Developing Leadership Competencies for an Uncertain Future,” caught my attention.

Being naturally afraid and anxious leads to the search to be grateful and less fearful. My search for results leads me to understand how important structure is to achieve the results. There is a saying, “I did not get what I wanted; however, what I got was what I…

November 11, 2024

When the person you report to sees you coming toward them, is their thought, Here comes some good news! or, Here comes a solution! Or is their emotion more like, What now? In my talks, I often cite the opposite scenario: what employees think when a supervisor contacts them. Some examples of this are below.
