• Us versus them mindset
• Independent medical staff to a fault
• No agreed upon mutual expectations
• No structure that unified employed physicians - house of brands strategy
• Lack of transparency - a lot of data but not organized in way that was meaningful to physicians
• Meetings did not equal physician input or engagement
• No strategy for physician leadership development

What Is Culture?
• A system of beliefs and rules that govern behavior.
• “The culture of a company is the behavior of its leaders. Leaders get the behaviors they exhibit & tolerate. You change the culture of a company by changing the behavior of its leaders.”
Dick Brown, Former CEO of EDS
12
What We Now Believe?
We believe that performance excellence is driven by cultural excellence.
Evidence demonstrates that the best outcomes are achieved by the
best behavior.
Culture is built and reinforced by effective leadership, especially
physician leadership
To change behavior requires change in thought!
