In looking at improving collaboration across all levels and empowering employees to express their ideas, I took baseline measures across the following actions:
— How often do I seek out feedback about our clinical programs and my performance? Baseline: 0 occurrences per week
— How often do I seek out ideas from others when engaging in clinical programming? Baseline: 0 occurrences per week
Although I have a strong clinical vision for most cases that the practice takes on, I was a little shocked at the 0.
Step one of our experiment in using OBM and the principles of the book The 5 Scientific Laws of Life & Leadership to heighten Nurture & Nature’s profile and further develop my leadership skills.
Anyone who knows me knows I am passionate and can be fiery about things that I care about deeply. This fire both fuels and burns, and I admit giving and getting feedback is hard. When employees are careless with things that I care about — the impact our actions have on our clients, lawful compliance, honesty, safety, ethics, to name a few — I can tend to express my feedback to them quite passionately, never name calling or discriminatory, but impassioned, consumed and intense.
