Yes, our newest book, Operational Blindness is coming out pretty soon.
You all that are familiar with me, I like to write a white paper in a book every year, especially if there's a real need that I feel like that the voice or some type of content needs to go out.
So if you're interested in that book, we'll be talking about it soon on how you can be able to get it
for actually for free.
So we'll talk about those things in a little bit.
So let's get to segment one.
But I think it's important because one in the book, Operational Blindness, I make a lot of references to who says elephants can't dance.
And it's a book written by Lewis Gertzner, who actually just passed.
And he was the executive that turned around the American great IBM.
And where IBM was in the 90s is kind of where health care as a whole is right now.
And when when Lewis came into IBM or came into the company, he had no technical experience with running a tech driven company or even technology itself.
But he understood people, organizations and processes, which is much more like me coming into health care.
And one of the biggest things he did was get rid of these sage old traditions that cause more harm than they actually do.
And what we found out, what we find about traditions, some of them are good, but most of them are just to keep carrying on those people that are underperforming.
So you kind of create these isms of survival.
And what happens if you kind of think about it within an organizational structure, as people are developing and growing, most organizations, your best talent either promotes up or they promote out.
And who kind of stays within the organizations are those that do enough to get by or they're not as prominent as far as talent.
Now, I'm not saying that people that spend 10, 15, 20, 30 years in one place doesn't have talent.
What I am saying is that a lot of the isms and the culture and the myths or the sacred cows that hold organizations together, the fact that we've always done something this way, a lot of times is being controlled by people in the organization that just have been there the longest through survival, not necessarily the longest through performance.
And I think that's very important for us to understand and ask ourselves, where are we getting this tradition from?
