HOW TO LEVERAGE YOUR MOST POWERFUL TOOL OF INFLUENCE TODAY
Your most powerful tool of influence is a pair of caring ears.
Today’s leadership challenge is the daily practice of caring engaged silence.
Caring engaged silence:
A caring heart is permission to lead.
More than ever, leadership is about influence, not position. This is an opportunity for those without position and a threat to those with it.
Good Presentations Need to Make People Uncomfortable
You can also layer on lots of beautiful pictures and graphics to grab people’s attention, but visual candy does not substitute for a strong argument and a compelling story. I may find your images engaging, but if they don’t tell me what to do or what I must learn, I may just remember your talk as a “good presentation,” and never take any action as a result.
Above all, a well-crafted presentation gets people to focus their attention and their efforts. And focus is something we all desperately need when so many other tools are distracting us instead of making us more productive.

You’re a hero when you get hired and a loser during traditional performance reviews.
It’s a waste to hire for strength and evaluate for weakness.
Replace traditional annual reviews with monthly performance conversations. Better yet, discuss performance in some way, every week. Make it normal, not an exception, to discuss performance.
6 thoughts on the state of healthcare from Scripps’ Chris Van Gorder
Faced with ever-changing rules and regulations, hospital and health system CEOs must constantly keep a pulse on the healthcare industry and be ready to alter their organizational strategy any day of the week. Chris Van Gorder, president and CEO of San Diego-based Scripps Health, talked to Becker’s Hospital Review about some of the biggest challenges and successes that are currently top of mind.
Mr. Van Gorder has led Scripps, a $2.9 billion integrated health system, since 2000. He is a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives and served as the 2010 chairman of the association.
His exposure to healthcare began as a hospital patient when he was critically injured while responding to a family dispute. After a long recovery, Mr. Van Gorder started a new career in hospital security, eventually rising through the ranks of healthcare management. Today, in addition to serving as Scripps’ president and CEO, he is a reserve assistant sheriff to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, in charge of the Law Enforcement and Search and Rescue Reserves. He also is a licensed emergency medical technician (EMT) and an instructor for the American Red Cross.
Here, Mr. Van Gorder took the time to answer our six questions.
