What if you came face to face with the realization that to survive and thrive five to ten years from now, you would have to dismantle your company — throw out all the old policies and procedures, the way things have always been done — and rebuild it from the ground up in the next 30 days?
Are you tough enough?

“A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.” - Pope Francis
Nearly all of us have been a student or an employee of someone at some time. Though the years have passed and we have risen in our careers, we might recall that we came into our studies and into our careers raw, untutored, and eager. We made mistakes and we learned from our mistakes. Those very lessons led us to grow into the leaders we have become.

There is a familiar pattern that shows up in the leaders & organizations I coach. A common leadership phenomenon (and something that comes up repeatedly on 360 feedback for my executive clients): Leaders are often so focused on solving the problems of the moment or looking ahead at what they/their team need to do in the near to distant future, that they fall into the trap of forgetting to encourage, celebrate and acknowledge people for their hard work and results. Most leaders are not naturally inclined to dwell on the awesomeness of the present. Most leaders say, why bother? What is the impact of this phenomenon for themselves and their teams? It is exhausting and de-energizing. I often hear from people’s direct reports “It would be nice to hear ‘thank you’ once in a while.” Can you relate?

The demands of today’s do-more-with-less workplace climate have produced an unprecedented amount of stress and frustration in most people’s lives. Not surprisingly, these dynamics are magnified substantially in the lives of countless leaders who are expected to foster a culture of work harder, smarter and faster. At the very core of this not so new but accelerating workplace reality is the issue of employee engagement. While much has been written and continues to be written about this subject, the often overlooked reality is that employee engagement starts with leadership engagement.

You are the manager of a big company and you know your business. Each day, you make important decisions regarding money, policy and strategy. You’re in total control. Without warning, you are confronted with a major crisis: an earthquake, a fire or a reputational risk. Now you find yourself uncertain and unsure. You don’t know what to do and you realize that everybody is looking to you for guidance—and the decision you are about to make will directly affect the survival of your company.

Change has become a constant in our world, every industry out there has had to change, adapt and overcome in the last five years. With constant advancements in technology, increase in competition and the lack of customer loyalty, being open to change has been the only way to stay in the game. So, when you take that into consideration you would think that today’s employees and change should be as compatible as peanut butter and jelly, as collaborative as a hammer and a nail, right?

When we go into a company and try to change its sustainability strategy, we are working from a personal theory of change that reflects how we see the world and how we engage with it. It defines who we are and how we accomplish our life’s work. And in many ways it defines what we will become. As Heraclitus said, “character is destiny.”

A vacuum exists for sports medicine physicians exemplifying leadership qualities of compassion, healing, serving, and love. After searching on the internet, it was difficult to find reviews for sports physicians where patients felt positive and compelled to share their story. Fortunately, according to Health Grades (2015) one sports physician Dr. Frank Holmes IV was awarded Most Compassionate Sports Medicine Specialist in 2011 by interactive health care company Health Tap. Compassion is a leadership behavior. We were intrigued to search through his reviews to find other leadership examples.
