DIAGNOSIS: People Don’t Know How to SHED!

The #1 Skill We’re Hiring For Is…

Recently, I was speaking at a major healthcare conference. Before I was introduced, the vice president of the 10,000 employee system stood up and announced,

“The number one skill we are hiring for today is the ability to learn on the fly!’

Ten years ago that statement would have been unthinkable. Back then, people asked: Where did you go to school? What’s your work history? Can you take a blood pressure reading? Not the “ability to learn on the fly.”

In reality, what the hospital executive was saying is the ability to adapt quickly to change is paramount. The new expectation is:“What we’re hiring you for today is probably not what we are going to be asking you to do tomorrow.”

No Organization Can Thrive Unless their People Can SHED!

Why do 75% of all change efforts fail? They fail largely because people feel left out of the process and lack the knowledge, skills and motivation to adapt to the organization’s new systems, processes and procedures.

Successful healthcare professionals will embody “temporary” as the norm and learn to promptly detach from ineffective roles, ideas and “the way we have always done it.”

Embody temporary as the norm.

The SHED Pill

Imagine you could administer a pill — the SHED Pill — to everyone you worked with and, as soon as you gave it to them, they would accept change faster.

After taking the SHED Pill, your team would have the skills and motivation to navigate all the turbulent changes going on in the healthcare industry. No negative attitudes. No resistance to change. They could immediately learn on the fly. In short, after taking the SHED Pill they would instantaneously be transformed into “Super-shedders”:

What would your organization be like if everyone was a Super-shedder? The results might be:

•Increased productivity

•Improved bottom line

•Healthier and happier employees

I must caution you… since the “SHED Pill” is still in clinical trials, and hasn’t been approved by the FDA, we will need to equip ourselves and others with the necessary skills and sustainable motivation to lead and master change on our own.

Commit to being a Super-shedder!
