And that's not a personal failing.
That's a system failing.
But here's the other side of the coin.
Now that you know it's a system problem, you have a responsibility.
You can't just throw up your hands and say it's the system while continuing to operate the same way.
Once you see the cage, you have to work to escape it.
And today's episode is about what escape looks like and what exactly you're escaping from.
And I'm going to read to you a section in the book that's called The Dance Begins.
It starts on page 30.
I'm going to read from page 30 to page 32.
And The Dance Begins, it says, let me return to that hospital conference room where we started.
Picture the CFO with unexplained cost overruns, the COO fielding complaints from surgical services, the CNO worried about quality metrics, the SPD director offering explanations that explain nothing.
Now picture something different.
Picture an SPD leader who can see downstream impact.
who knows exactly how their department's operations affect OR efficiency, surgical outcomes, and organizational costs.
Picture a team that operates proactively rather than reactively, anticipating needs instead of responding to crisis.
Picture a department that speaks the language of outcomes, not activities, that can translate what they do in terms the C-suite understands and values.
Picture the surgeon who stops hoarding instruments because they trust the system to deliver.
Picture the CFO who can finally trace costs to root causes.
Picture the CNO who sees quality risks declining instead of accumulating.
