“Typical” Expectations…

(Not You or Me, Obviously)

Hospitals are public places and should recognize their role…

It is a teaching hospital, isn’t it?

The hospital should respect my role as a teacher…

Building a Better Society

The hospital should respect my role as a teacher… Building a Better Society Showing the “Way”

The hospital should respect my role as a teacher… Building a Better Society Showing the “Way” Making “Our Common Future” Brighter

The hospital should respect my role as a teacher… And of course I need someone to babysit the kids.

The hospital should respect my role as a teacher… And of course I need someone to babysit the kids. Maybe they’ll learn something.

ROP Says So

Typical Strategy

“Back up the school bus and drop ‘em off out front”

Another Typical Strategy

Relying on “relationships” and “contracts” with other people and organizations…

“We have a contract…”

WHO are we talking about here?

One of MY favorites:

“You should’ve seen the AWESOME job so-and-so did [just ten years ago] he was AMAZING and all his kids were Geniuses…

Reality Statement:

We Only Have Now.

Now.

You probably are a staff of ONE

Let’s talk about your “approach”

Starting From Scratch…

Acquaintances…

Social only.

Acquaintances… Social only. They have real work to do.

Acquaintances… Social only. They have real work to do. “Maybe a tour sometime”
