"New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results."

Motivating to spend an afternoon with Dr. Dillingham and the @pennpmr faculty as the oldest rehabilitation center in the country continues to shape a future that harnesses cutting edge science and delivers high quality care.

The value of a coach is that they help us see something in ourselves that we can’t quite see ourselves. Here are a few techniques leaders can use to tap into their talent.

I love and admire my species, living and dead, and am totally dependent on them for my life and well being."

An email from Steve Jobs, sent to himself, remarking on how much we all need each other:

I grow little of the food I eat, and of the little I do grow I did not breed or perfect the seeds.

I do not make any of my own clothing.

[Chris Barba @chrisLbarba]

When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive.
I did not invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object oriented programming, or most of the technology I work with.

[Chris Barba @chrisLbarba]

One of the big ideas of change is that behavior is shaped by our environment. If we want to change behavior, we must change the environment. Greg Shea's Work Systems Model is a great tool to help leaders and teams drive and sustain change.

Dealing with mounting stress and burnout? Here’s an exercise. Categorize your concerns by what you can control, what you can influence, and what worries you, but is outside your control.

Focusing on what we control allows us to invest our energy most effectively.

[Chris Barba @chrisLbarba]

Strategy can be complex. @johncutlefish nicely breaks it down into tangible dimensions—Level, Depth, Time, and Frame.

The most successful people start with dominant strengths—and then add skills, knowledge, and practice to the mix.

Motivating to explore the strengths of our @PennRadiology residents during a #CliftonStrengths session at HTBAR 2023.

[Penn Radiology Residents @PennRadRes]

@chrisLbarba and Olivia Foster analyzed our cohort of residents for group #strengths and #weaknesses #HTBAR2023 @PennMedicine @PennRadiology

Adaptive teams are groups of people who know how to communicate, cooperate and innovate in an environment of mutual trust and respect.

Motivating to join Cindy Morgan, Dr. Craig Gronczewski, and John Donohue for a conversation on leading through a crisis. @pennmed_academy

[Chris Barba @chrisLbarba]

Excited that @pennmed_academy just launched its Twitter page. This will be a great source of organizational development insight from a leading-edge academic medical center.

💡PMA Tip: Having things in common with your team members can improve relationships and build a more cohesive team.

Start your next team meeting with a 10-minute conversation to uncover uncommon things you all have in common. #engagedteams #orgdevelopment #pma #healthcare #teams

The two tools leaders have are strategy and culture. Incredibly motivating to spend Monday with leaders from @PennPartners and define the path ahead for creating world-class rehabilitation and post-acute care.

[Chris Barba @chrisLbarba]

Two takeaways from @AmyCEdmondson’s TED talk on teams:

1. The basic human challenge—it’s hard to learn if you already know.

2. Situational humility combined with curiosity creates psychological safety and allows people to take risks and realize new levels of success.

[Chris Barba @chrisLbarba]

Great approach to make conflict about the task vs. the relationship. The former motivates the latter aggravates.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Another brilliant conflict resolution method from the great @drgurner:

Shifting from Me vs. You conflict to Us vs. Problem collaboration.
