So
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.
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.
You hire the best people for the role.
But what I find is I try to hire people that actually like agility.
We don't use the word department in this company.
It's really functions.
And that slight change is
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.
So that's what I think I'm most proud of is hiring a real great group of people that are leaders in themselves.
and they're growing and many times don't know even how smart and creative they are.
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.
