New Hospital CEO.
A surgeon, who was leading a large cancer treatment center, was recruited to be the new CEO of one of the most recognized hospital / research centers in the country.
He called Centauric with a request:
“Help me decide if this is a good career move and if it is, work with me to make sure I am positioned for success.”
We knew that he would make the best decisions if he had the right data and people he trusted to challenge his thinking.
Centauric assisted this client by:
- Identifying the questions he needed answered and the best possible ways to ask the questions, so that his position was strengthened and not compromised.
- Garnering critical information from members of the Board and hospital leaders. We subsequently met and discussed our interview findings and considered a number of strategic choices that had emerged from our inquiry.
- Reviewing his observations and conclusions.
- Analyzing his assumptions and leaps
of logic. - Discussing how he could capitalize on his strengths and compensate for his blind spots.
Together, we developed a strategy that balanced dealing with the departing CEO, engaging the Board, addressing the urgent need of staff for clarity, and understanding the organization before “showing his hand” and committing to significant changes.
Today this CEO has command of his challenges and has gained full support from the key players to pursue a bold agenda of transformation.
