So

McKinsey on Healthcare
They will know a culture—you can't fake itā€: An interview with Texas Medical Center’s president and CEO Bill McKeon

That's been one of the things that I've really kind of looked back on on that journey.

You always want to hire incredibly talented people.

McKinsey on Healthcare

And that's something that I've invested heavily in.

When I arrived here, it was largely male-dominated, older people in leadership positions.

And now I'd say it's almost been a complete swing opposite of that, that

80% of the leaders on my team are women.

Ages are much younger.

And it wasn't designed that way.

McKinsey on Healthcare

You hire the best people for the role.

McKinsey on Healthcare
They will know a culture—you can't fake itā€: An interview with Texas Medical Center’s president and CEO Bill McKeon

But what I find is I try to hire people that actually like agility.

We don't use the word department in this company.

McKinsey on Healthcare
They will know a culture—you can't fake itā€: An interview with Texas Medical Center’s president and CEO Bill McKeon

It's really functions.

moving people out of this kind of, I own this part, or I do this thing to be much more agile in their thinking of the roles they have.

So you'll see most people in our organization cross over onto many projects so they don't get stuck in something.

The dust factor, as I refer to it, doesn't build.

And that's kind of one of the, I think the greatest pleasures of leading is really hiring people and curating our future leaders here at the Medical Center.
