The vital few or the trivial many:
Where's your focus?

In June we will be two years removed from one of the worst economic recessions to ever hit our nation. While economists point to June 2009 as the ending point of the “Great Recession”, many, if not most, of our nation’s businesses continue to struggle.

While there were, and continue to be, many factors at play in our recovery from the recession, one of the most important for businesses is the focus of its leaders. As a leader, whether in good times or bad, you must continuously focus on achieving your overall vision and goals for any chance at success, and not become mired in “paying the rent” activities that don’t add any real value.

Change leadership: “C”ing is believing

InitiativeOne instills a new “fever of change” at the Oneida Community Health Center

ONEIDA, WIS. —There’s a fever at the Oneida Community Health Center! Its symptoms are high morale, a “can-do” attitude and a desire to improve the patient experience.

The prescription: keep it up and spread it!

This fever is the result of an intensive nine-week leadership development process the staff in the medical clinic at the Health Center recently went through, led by InitiativeOne, a consulting and leadership development group with offices in Green Bay and Scottsdale, Ariz.

“There’s a new energy at the clinic! It’s really exciting to see,” said Debbie Thundercloud, the Tribe’s general manager, who had worked with InitiativeOne when she was with a different organization. “Ultimately, our goal is to provide the best service possible to our patients and by going through this process we are well on our way to doing that.

Debbie Danforth, RN, comprehensive health operations director at the clinic, agreed, saying, “I am getting comments from patients saying, ‘I don’t know what’s going on, but people are smiling; your staff members are really paying attention to my needs.’”
