Time has both beneficial and detrimental effects on leaders and businesses. To me, they can relate to complacency - a dirty word in my book. No leader should ever become complacent. This will surely send the wrong message to those around this person who seek to emulate their leader. As for healthcare, it is very clear that those who focus on delivery of quality services will garner the following needed to survive. Those that focus on non-patient oriented overhead, will succumb to Darwin-istic outcomes. Allen,

We sometimes have months if not years to redirect our efforts. Unfortunately, this luxury of time may produce a lack of urgency,and then no action committed. U.S. auto makers and bankers had plenty of time to redirect themselves but chose not to. In my industry, healthcare which is cost effective and efficient is the way to go, yet many providers continue to cling to sluggish and mistake prone methods of conducting business and care provision. Large administrative staffs and low production clinicians are rampant still. However, Darwinism will prevail here as well, and many of the providers who are not gifted nor efficient will not be able to stay in business.

The executive education programs described surely provide valuable experiences and information to those executives and companies who implement them. As I have written about in the past, we can never believe that we have learned enough: http://ninasimosko.com/blog/i’ve-learned-enough…ha/ Hi Sarah,

As a leader I could also get some advice from Med Yones, the Economic Expert. He provides managers and leaders with the necessary information to implement a cure for poor organizational performance and its negative workplace politics. His paper addresses the following subject areas: 1. Leadership and Performance; 2. Strategic Alignment; 3. Performance Diagnoses Checklist; 4. Bad Politics and Performance Risks; 5. Treatment Challenges; 6. Best Practices for Curing Bad Politics.

Sullenberger demonstrated professionalism at its best. I also like to think that his vast experience enabled him to keep a cool head and years of flying perfected that landing in the Hudson. Hats off to you, "Sully". Capt. Sullenberger demonstrated professionalism at its best.

Like you, I've written about the critical importance of communication and offered some approaches or strategies to improving communication in both personal and professional settings.

There is a lot to be said about the way he handled his "crisis" and what we can do when we face our own. The recently revealed cockpit recordings revealed even more about the importance of communication in times of crisis. I have written about this in my last couple of Leader Business blog postings and welcome your feedback. More importantly, I am thankful for "Sully" and his courage under fire. Hooah! Nina,
