My friend Mark Dixon, president & CEO of The Mark Dixon Group, LLC, shared with me an excellent leadership suggestion and perspective. Mark is a former hospital CEO and has led a very successful leadership career in hospital, health system, and healthcare consulting. To put it succinctly, when Mark Dixon speaks, I listen!
Among Mark’s excellent advice to healthcare leaders all across America is this:
“Regardless of what position you’re in, you will always benefit from examining the decision-making process of the person two or three levels above you—asking, ‘how would they look at this situation?’ What I find is when you think about that, you will make better decisions for your organization, and people will see that you are focusing on the bigger picture.”
Great advice that is not only good for your organization, but also very good for your personal, professional, and organizational growth and development.
