People often ask me what is at the core of a great team. I have thought about this a lot. It seems to take a lot of things to make a great team: hiring the right people, having enough equipment, good patient ratios, and collaborative MDs. Though at the core of all of this, what rises higher than any other is relationships. It is truly the job of the manager to aid in bringing a group of people together to form a relationship between their co-workers.
When staff have a vested personal interest in each other they enjoy helping one another as well. Recently I pulled my 100 member team of pulmonary staff together for a team building workshop. Over and over I kept hearing of how much they cared for one another. They have an amazing team and this seemed to be the common theme for all of them and why they had such a great team. Relationships with each other and their manager - what a great concept.
Thinking through the Studer initiatives that Clarian has been undergoing gets a lot of flack about prescriptive questions. At the core of these questions and themes for leaders to use, you can see it is developing a relationship with the staff and getting to know them on a more personal level. This is also what aids patient satisfaction. It is not always about being the best staff member, but it is the lasting relationship you leave with your patients. At times we focus so much on the clinical side we forget to establish the relationship with each other and our patients. If everyone could take away to get to know someone on a more personal level every day, what a preeminent organization we would become.
