Confidence Classic: How To Lead At ANY Level, With Dr. Richard Winters The Director Of Leadership Development For The Mayo Clinic

And then if everyone in the group knows the process, now we have this kind of common language. I think what's going on right now is this is a complex issue, and maybe we need to step back.

Yeah, I mean, there's such a tension there because there's what's always been working for us. And yeah, times change and stuff, but you know what? Our tradition is this. Our culture is based on this. And these are the things that have always worked. And if you start to tweak that, it makes some individuals very uncomfortable. It feels like it's actually a separation of the organization.

Like, this is now different. But on the other hand, like best practices by definition, past practice, there are things that we have done in the past that we no longer do because they no longer work. And so how do we remain aware and make sure that we're kind of aligned with our tradition and the culture and those sorts of things?

And then also the data starts to show us that, you know what, this is not working, which is why we're here talking about this. It's not working. And so let's start to figure out how to move forward.

Yeah, true. Yeah. So an ineffective leader is going to be someone who always says, OK, let's get the group together. Let's all come together because there are times you need to make decisions. And I think there's a few few things there to think about. One is the leader is there to protect the mission, the values of the organization.
