    Leadership for the 21st Century

    March 29th, 2005

    jackwelch
    Newsweek just came out with an Exclusive Excerpt of Jack Welch's 2nd try of a book to match his legend. Maybe this time, he actually got it.

    8 universal managerial principles etched from his decades of experience in one of the best, largest, most respected companies on the earth. (FYI - as last week GE retook the "largest company in the world" title back from Exxon-Mobile. Those oil prices are crazy)

    For the next 8 days, let's think through one principle at a time with an eye towards how we can apply it to our hospitals.

    Welch's 8:
    1. Leaders relentlessly upgrade their team, using every encounter as an opportunity to evaluate, coach, and build self-confidence
    2. Leaders make sure people not only see the vision, they live and breathe it.
    3. Leaders get into everyone's skin, exuding positive energy and optimism
    4. Leaders establish trust with candor, transparency, and credit.
    5. Leaders have the courage to make unpopular decisions and gut calls.
    6. Leaders probe and push with a curiosity that borders on skepticism, making sure their questions are answered with action.
    7. Leaders inspire risk taking and learning by setting the example.
    8. Leaders celebrate.

    Mr. Welch's famously hard-headed approach fits few people's personalities. It's hard to argue with his principles, but it's important, as a leader, to adopt a tone or style that's natural to oneself. There are many quiet leaders. My experience as a consultant to CEO's is that most of them are modest, careful, thoughtful people who, though ambitious, are usually ambitious for other people, too.

    As for hospitals, isn't it true that all hospitals have just about the same vision: a) promote good health, b) heal the sick, c) do no harm, d) comfort the afflicted and dying? My question as a strategic planner is, what's wrong with many institutions having the same vision? Is it a problem that the race for differentiation (or egocentrism) we're all striving to be something new--which distracts us from our common purpose.

    We are consultant specializing in strategic facility planning, and almost always find that hospitals do not have a clear vision (when it's really so simple), which makes these very long-term decisions so difficult. Which is to say that I agree with Mr. Welch, even if his own personal conduct is (if what's reported is true) is less than affirming.

    My other observation is that good leaders take their own role as leader very seriously. So, thanks for posting these ideas and opening up the conversation.

    Derrick, great observations and comments.

    I have also definitely seen the "quiet leader" be tremendously effectively. And you are right - leadership style is very personal, and it has to be very natural.

    Interesting connection about strategic planning - for hospitals as well as for leaders, we probably spend too much time trying to be too much instead of just embracing what we really are. And then just going after that.

    Nonetheless, I believe the role and purpose of hospitals is slowing changing, see my recent posts on "What business are hospitals really in?"

    I also wanted to post these because too often we've thought of hospital leaders more as hospital "administrators." We don't need any more administrators, we need leaders.

    As a blogger on HIStalk I constantly try to educate C-level readers of the blog about how IT will affect health care and its future daily operating style if they chose to be a truly digital institution. Since knowledge about the IT development world is slow to reach health care it is vitally important that early knowledge acquisition be in place so that when a large request for funds is ready for review the right questions can be asked to insure the funding needed is being appropriately spent. One of the roadblocks in this process is the large number of silos that exist in most health care institutions. One way to start to break these silos is to develop teams consisting of department members with the most knowledge of the expected purchase request.

    Technology will continue to affect health care and its future greatly. A leader is someone who has the judgement and diplomacy to bring about changes in those who are set in their ways.

    Changing of the leadership from one hand to the other is a continuous process but we must all be aware about who's taking the responsibility and also need to justify the person's qualification. fap turbo

    It is must be an excellent and valuable book for the medical fraternity. Of late, it has been felt the leadership vacuum in the present juncture of health care movement. It is hoped Jack Welch's 2nd try of the legendary book with those 8 leadership principles would focus more light on the matter. Thanks for the information.Industrial Flooring
