12 Key Success Factors for
Positive Culture

Key Success Factor #1
Early engagement of leaders from
appropriate constituencies including
board of directors, medical staff,
and if appropriate unions

Commitment of the executive team
is the primary difference between
real culture change and just
another “program of the month”

Enthusiastic engagement of
middle management creates
expectations within each unit
and department

Assess don’t assume – ask your
people about their perceptions of the
culture, not just whether they are
satisfied or engaged

Have a blueprint and/or a manifesto
that creates a shared vision of the
culture you aspire to build

Establish initiative coherence and
avoid identification of the change
process with any single individual
or program

Keep it visible and tangible with
refresher courses, buttons and
wristbands, physical displays, daily
huddles and the like

Start with a core group of your
most passionate and enthusiastic
“Spark Plugs” then keep growing
the community

Key Success Factor #8 (contd.)
Embrace the skeptics,
marginalize the cynics, and
plow through resistance

Collect and share stories from
patients, visitors, and staff

Reach out to the micro-communities
of employee families and the macro-
communities of local schools,
business, and government

Remember that the best way to
motivate people to be better employees
is to inspire them to be better people
by living their personal values...

Key Success Factor #11 (contd.)
And that organizational values
determine strategy while personal
values shape culture

Opting out is
not an option!

A leader is someone who
takes you to a place to
which you didn’t know
you wanted to go.
– Joel Barker

A leader is someone
who helps you become
the person you didn’t
realize you could be.
– Joe Tye

“If you have built castles
in the air, your work need
not be lost; that is where
they should be. Now put
the foundations under
them.”
Henry David Thoreau

You can remember
the future more
clearly and more
accurately…
Than you can
remember
the past.

22
The difference between
wishful thinking and
positive thinking…

23
Wishful thinking is hoping
for something and waiting
for someone else to make
it happen.

24
Positive thinking is
expecting something
and working to make
it happen.

Joe’s Youroscope
Surprising good news will
come to you from out of the
blue – but it will be disguised
as an unpleasant chore so
pay attention...

Joe’s Youroscope (contd.)
What will at first seem like an
incidental conversation with a
stranger will evolve into a
wonderful client relationship
and personal friendship...

A worry that has been keeping
you awake at night will prove
to have been interest on a
debt that you do not owe...

Call a friend, call a
prospect, and call
your Mom.

Creating Memories of the Future

The 3 paradoxes of
big audacious goals

Paradox #1
They are often more likely
to be achieved than timid
little goals

Paradox #2
They often don’t take any
more money, energy, or
risk than timid little goals

Paradox #3
Once accomplished they lay
down a platform for even
bigger audacious goals

“Vision is the art of
seeing the invisible.”
- Jonathan Swift

You must intensely
desire a better future

Aspiration is what
makes us uniquely
human

Without aspiration we
would still be hunting
and gathering

There would be no cities,
no universities, no parks,
no churches, no hospitals

Have a goal so big that
you cannot achieve it
until you become a
bigger person

You must aspire to a
dream that inspires you
The dream must
be authentic

Every job paid the
same and had the
same social status?

You didn’t worry
about what
other people
thought of you?

Your choice of what to give your
attention to is the most important
choice you make every day

PAY
ATTENTION!
Why do
you think
they say
“pay”
??????

What you choose to pay attention
to today is the platform upon
which you will create your vision
of the future

Ignore the
TRAGI-
TAINMENT
network

Ignore negativity,
cynicism, and
pessimism of
other people

You must be able to
describe your dream in
a way that informs and
inspires others

Martin Luther King had
a dream which he
articulated in a 7,000
word letter from the
Birmingham Jail… and
in a 3-minute speech
that changed the world

Articulate your dream in a plan or a proposal, in
a budget or a grant application, in a drawing or a blueprint

The most important
articulation of all is the
one you give to yourself

Because we dream
in pictures…
But we worry in
words

Positive affirmations are
most important when they
are hardest to believe

The bigger the dream the more help
you will need so…

Earn the help you need in
advance by helping other
people now…
Repay the help you receive
by serving others later

The Aladdin Factor by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen
The answer will always be
YES when you ask the right
question of the right
person at the right time

If you see a man on top
of a mountain he did
not fall there

Action is the outward
manifestation of
inner commitment

Action is the difference between positive
thinking and wishful thinking
positive thinking wishful thinking

The work isn’t so
hard – what’s hard
is getting started
on the work

“The most pernicious aspect of procrastination is
that it can become a habit. We don’t just put off our
lives today; we put off them off till our deathbed.
Never forget: This very moment, we can change our
lives. There never was a moment, and never will be,
when we are without the power to alter our destiny.
This second, we can turn the tables on Resistance.
This second, we can sit down and do our work.”
Steve Pressfield: The War of Art

You can hold yourself
accountable – or you
can let someone else
do it for you

Who is depending
upon you to hold
yourself accountable?

Because the world
will change…

You will change and the
dream will change

Sometimes adapting means growing the dream

Every great accomplishment
was once the “impossible”
dream of a dreamer who just
refused to quit

The BIGGER the dream…
The GREATER the Challenge
