CHIME 3

My rough notes from the CHIME CIO Forum

CHIME CIO Forum concluded today with a great closing speaker.

John Izzo, PhD – Leading with Spirit in Turbulent Times. www.theizzogroup,com
  • CIOs must feel like a fire hydrant in a room full of dogs
  • If we keep saying it is all about the patient then what we are saying to our employees is “it is not about you”
  • We need to be relationship centered organizations“Great relationships can overcome poor processes but great process can never overcome poor relationships” Darren Entwistle, CEO Telus
  • If the OR team is on a first name basis (they have true relationships) there is a 70% reduction in the possibility of a fatal event
  • Never focus on the HOW without working the what and the why
  • We cannot give what we do not have. What are we sacrificing? Why? We must take care of ourselves. Children are great mentors for the keeping of the soul.
  • If you destroy yourself by working too much you will not be able to lead with spirit
  • Remember the balance between caring and accountability
  • Tough Love – Synovus Bank
  • Centegra Health System – Mission Statement
  • Toxic colleagues and physicians who are not helpful take away from a spirited environment
  • The more connected a person is to the higher purpose of their work the more spirited they are about their job. What is your higher calling? Why are you doing it? Remember the contribution.
