Episode 174: Leveraging a Creator Orientation to Focus on Current Reality and Future Desired Outcomes

In this episode, we talk about leveraging a creator orientation to focus on your current reality and future desired outcome as a healthcare leader.

We know leaders and healthcare organizations have been facing numerous challenges on a daily basis for the past three years.

In fact, the current circumstances are difficult where staffing is terrible, the volume and acuity of patients are high, and there is a lack of seasoned or experienced leaders to learn from.

That’s why putting your attention and orientation on addressing the desired outcomes is critical to achieving sustainable progress and positive outcomes.

The thing is, when you hold a creator orientation and focus on leveraging and learning from the current realities while moving toward future desired outcomes, you will experience more positive outcomes and sustainable progress.

In this podcast, we talk about the importance of leveraging the tension between your current reality and future desired outcomes and some of the negative consequences if you over-focus on one to the neglect of the other.

We also share some personal experiences about leveraging these tensions and what you can learn from them.
