When the Going Gets Tough
Mikel Harry of the Six Sigma Management Institute tells us that when the going gets tough “Get back to basics. Re-examine everything you do and aim for breakthrough, not incremental, improvement. Have the courage to lead. You lead people to breakthrough, not manage them to breakthrough.” This is a winning formula in this recession!
Your healthcare organizations need your ideas, your expertise and your leadership to pull them through these uncertain times. If support from the top is lacking, then it’s even more important for you to lead the way in producing significant supply chain savings to right your boat.
I know that you are a regular reader of this e-newsletter and I’m preaching to the choir here. However, sometimes I think it’s important to remind you that almost nothing happens in your hospital, system or IDN without the leadership, involvement and know-how of supply chain management — making it happen.
You are an essential cog in the wheel that is required to keep your healthcare organization financially fit. So when the going gets tough I know that supply chain management will be part of the solution to these hard, tough problems we face today.
