Friday Quotes
Ignore the glass ceiling and do your work. If you’re focusing on the glass ceiling, focusing on what you don’t have, focusing on the limitations, then you will be limited.
In business, access barriers, process challenges, capacity and resources are constant when adapting to market wants and needs.
Success comes from the inside out. In order to change what is on the outside, you must first change what is on the inside.
Successful organizations consider the input and feedback from their customers as valuable: it is what helps them change and remain relevant in the marketplace.
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
Risks in business are not perceived as something to avoid; rather, action is taken based upon the acceptable calculated level. The risks of opportunity yield positive outcomes. Using safety to further a business effort is a risk worth taking.
I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Organizations, like people, are not infallible. To succeed requires diligence and, in some cases, grit. Safety integrated into the organization requires understanding the end user and how it will be used. Misses will happen: improve from each one.
It always seems impossible, until it is done.
World class achievement is a perpetual endeavor. Although each step that seems out of reach, forethought and willingness to change can strive to make it happen.
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.
The constant for any organization is change: change in technology, change in process, change in management, change in the marketplace.
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.
Organizations are only “living” entities if the words are applied off the paper.
Steady makes great.
Faced with a myriad of choices that all seem to be priority one places pressure for fast decision making.
In healthcare, we are groomed to believe that perfection is the holy grail to be sought after, at all cost.
At all costs isn’t a business strategy; rather, it erodes trust and burns people out. In safety, when the work process does not have safety process within, the pressure on performance does not align. Addressing unrealistic expectations and engaging stakeholders for resolution is a great way to improve performance at the right cost.
“One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn’t exist…..Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.”
In business, the perfect company is rarely the successful company. Focusing on perfection can take attention away from customers, thus alienating the marketplace.
