Modern Healthcare just released its 2024 Best Places to Work in Healthcare List.

Belonging Matters. Here Are a Few Ways to Help Create It.

Quint Studer
///
My next book will be on belonging. Over the years, I have written and spoken on this subject. When a person has the sense that they belong, all sorts of great things happen. One thing is the person stays. This is true in workplaces and communities. We are all individuals. No two people are alike. There will never be another you. Some individuals are natural fitter-inners, and some struggle with the sense of belonging. The…

“If It’s Not Clear, Ask.” (Taking Ownership of Your Skill Building and Development)

Quint Studer

In quick succession, three people approached me about their situations. While the situations were all different, there were similarities. Common themes I saw centered on the ability to be direct in conversations and to achieve clarity in each person’s circumstances. Let’s take a brief look at each situation. SITUATION 1. An early careerist approached me to share that the small company he works for does not do yearly evaluations (or any performance reviews), and does…

Four Trust-Busting Mistakes to Avoid

Quint Studer
///
Hopefully, our series of posts on creating cultures of trust has been helpful for you. Over the past couple of months, we’ve focused on some powerful trust building tactics. While I prefer sticking to the positive, it is important to acknowledge the “misses” as well as the wins. That’s why I’m sharing a few stumbling blocks to avoid: Not maximizing your onboarding system. By reassuring new employees that you’re here to help them through the…

Pointing Out Problems Is Good; Bringing Solutions Is Great

Pointing Out Problems Is Good; Bringing Solutions Is Great

Quint Studer
///
Some time back, I wrote, “When a person identifies a problem, they have a human responsibility to also help with a solution.” Are there times when it’s enough to only point out a problem? Yes. One example is when you see a situation that could be dangerous. I was at a baseball game a few weeks back, and as I walked past an area, I thought I smelled propane gas. I quickly found someone who…

A Shout-Out to Teachers and Leaders Who’ve Answered the Calling

Quint Studer

In my books and presentations, I often share the positive impact my third-grade teacher, Mrs. James, had as well as my high school soccer coach, Mr. King. I get asked if I ever thanked them. I never found Mrs. James, so the answer is no for her. Years ago, when I was speaking in Easley, South Carolina, they asked me to share my Coach King story from my book Hardwiring Excellence. As I finished my talk, Coach…

Three Powerhouse Trust Builders to Consider

Three Powerhouse Trust Builders to Consider

Quint Studer
///
I’ve been diving deep into research on trust lately. When trust is present in an organization great things happen. There’s less anxiety. There’s more comfort in sharing concerns. This leads to people more freely sharing suggestions on how to make things better and staff are more likely to stay. Trust takes a long time to build and a short time to lose. Lots of factors are involved. In fact, there’s so much to say that Dr. Katherine…

Summer is dwindling away, and we can all feel the change in the air. I think of this as the tale of two seasons. Different people respond to this time very differently. Some people get really excited about the arrival of a new school year. They’re happy school is back in session. Fall sports are starting. They love the drives to see the changing leaves and cooler weather. These are the people whose social media…

Quint Studer

In thriving healthcare organizations, trusting relationships are a foundational piece of the culture. Trust is mutual: we tend to trust people who also trust us. That’s why one of the best ways for leaders to build trust is to show trust. Here is an action that demonstrates trust: When working on a problem, ask employees for help.
