... where you get a KaBoom, an acute crisis and a recovery over days to weeks. You know, the kinds of disasters we have drills for, the ones we have code names for.
This pandemic is a series of slow tidal waves, overwhelming everything and everyone for weeks at a time as the wave hits, only to return months later and do it again.
Sheer fatigue, exhaustion, even a sense of helplessness and hopelessness are common for you and your care team.
All of us can rally and unite in response to an acute crisis. All hands on deck!
But how do you continue to lead and remain a high performance team for weeks and months on end when the tide of illness refuses to recede?

All power to the shields
Throw everything you've got to the front lines

Staffing and supporting the front line care teams is job #1 everywhere and
we can't forget the members of those care teams who are not here today.
I am not talking about the workers who are simply off shift right now. Let me show you this physician leadership blind spot.

READ MORE NOW >>>In ten years of coaching physicians, I have found one thing to be constant.
We take on too much, do too much, worry about too much try to control too much. This overwork is a key cause of physician burnout and a direct result of our medical education.
The reason is simple. You were never taught how to lead your team effectively. Key leadership skills never made into the curriculum of your medical education.

Fortunately, the leadership skills to share the load are simple and can be quickly deployed in your practice day.
Here are three ways to begin your leadership upgrade.

READ MORE NOW >>>If you haven't heard yet, your organization just had its worst three months in history -- yet another COVID-19 driven contribution to physician burnout.
i) If you are a practice owner, this reality has been keeping you up at night for weeks.
ii) If you are an employee physician and you don't already know about the smoking crater that is your organization's financial statement, your leaders are hiding the financials from you in a fine example of #badleadership.
iii) And if your organization somehow managed to avoid a massive loss in the last 90 days - either you are a full risk/capitated provider (Kaiser Permanente) or you got very, very lucky.
Their profit margin just went from single digit positive to a giant sucking sound. Even the Mayo Clinic is projecting a 3 BILLION dollar loss in 2020.

"I started to feel better about my life within a couple weeks of beginning our conversations. I knew that I had an ally and friend. I realized that my feelings were predictable based on my circumstances, that I was “normal”. For the first time in years I had real hope that things would change for the better.
We worked together to find and interview for a new position in the worst job market for my specialty the recruiters have ever experienced. With Dike’s help and persistent positive attitude, I found a new position at a group that really cares about the doctors and I start in two weeks.
For me, the program has been worth everything. It has enabled me to emerge from my depression, change my toxic work situation, improve my home and family life, and allow myself to be happy and realize that I deserve to be happy.”
