When the new CEO of the Healthcare Foundation, Sharon Smith, is hired, we may hear people say they are now, “Team Smith.”
And, depending on the ego of CEO Smith, that verbalized loyalty could be rewarded.
However, CEO Smith might say, “no, no, we all are on Team Healthcare Foundation,” signaling that she has more ego for the organization than she does for herself.
Or, CEO Smith might even go a step further and say, “There will be no ‘teams’ here. We will all be focused on our advancing our mission everyday – helping make our patients and our community healthier.”
Which version of CEO Smith would you rather have in leadership?
Regardless of your position or title, be that leader.
