HLTH 808-Managing Healthcare Organizations
To be your best self takes a lot of discipline and confidence. The key factors of being your best self to me include being healthy, ambitious, involved, responsible, and optimistic. Moving to the United States with my family over two decades ago, I gained a newfound respect for my parents to leave behind all known and understanding of life to having to learn a new language, profession, networks, providing a new comfortable home while not knowing the end results just so my brother and I will have the life my parents envisioned for us. Words of faith are the only thing that keeps me steadily walking along my path to success. Success is my only option failure is not. I have condemned myself to be a success.
I dove headfirst into this assignment. I collected 27 short stories from 23 people including: family members, past professors, current professors, current manager, past managers, co-workers, colleagues, friends, and even four of my past employees whom I managed. I analyzed the stories one by one in aggregate to find patterns and themes.
In nearly every story I received back from my past professors, colleagues, bosses, and friends the writers highlighted how structured I was, focusing on timelines and deadlines. How seamless I made each long-term project into a series of specific short-term plans, and worked through each plan diligently. They appreciated my instinctive method for maintaining my progress and the teams and my productivity in the face of life’s many distractions. I came to recognize that others may not be as disciplined as I am and I should not think that everyone thinks like me. More often than not, the clumsy process frustrates me, but I must learn to look beyond it, and focus when in teams and by myself on their results, not on their process. The next reoccurring theme I came across was empathy.
