Highly recommend a newsletter that my Spencer Stuart colleagues @Claudius Hildebrand and @Bob Stark have just launched taking off from their excellent new book, The CEO Life Cycle. The book tells how being appointed CEO is just one step in a journey of evolving stages that require ongoing personal reinvention. It's based on a unique study of the individual performance of every twenty-first-century CEO of the S&P 500, and identifies five stages -- launch, calibration, reinvention, complacency trap, and legacy -- that present distinctive headwinds and tailwinds and require leaders to develop fresh skills and strategies in order to thrive.

“HR is still a misunderstood function in terms of the value and power it can bring to a firm’s CEO and leadership,” - Paige Ross, global head of human resources at Blackstone. Paige's comments really resonate with me especially this .." It’s incumbent upon HR leaders to have the courage to show what we can do, the ability to learn what we don't know and to always think like a businessperson. The best HR leaders are businesspeople first, with an expertise in HR.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eSDFg_a9

You've spent years building your expertise, mastering your craft, and delivering results. But here's the thing - in today's workplace, excellence alone isn't enough.

🏆 A CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE doesn’t just happen—it’s BUILT!!!🏆 Seeing those championship banners in #Boston made me think: greatness isn’t a one-time achievement; it’s a COMMITMENT, a MINDSET, and more importantly... IT'S A WAY. OF. LIFE. 💪 For the Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, and New England Patriots, winning isn’t just a goal—it’s an EXPECTATION. 🥇 But here's the thing... a culture like that? It doesn’t happen overnight. 🌃 Those banners? They didn’t just appear on the walls—years of SWEAT, HUSTLE, and ❤️ put them there. 🗣️📣 It’s no different in #healthcare. Think about it: are we expecting, TALKING about, and celebrating EXCELLENCE for our clients and their teams? Are we pushing for the absolute best? That’s what separates a system that just “functions” from one that IMPACTS lives!!! 💥💥💥 TRUE excellence isn’t about being “the best” for a moment. It’s about creating a space where EVERYONE is driven to be the best ALL the time. And that’s where the magic happens: not critiquing, not punishing, but lifting each other UP to get closer to that win EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. 🙌🪄 But here’s the thing about CULTURE—it’s not just critiquing when things aren’t “right.” It’s about calling out the gaps and helping each other rise to the occasion because WE WANT TO BE THE BEST. And yes, we’ve got to CELEBRATE!!! 🎉🎊 We all know how to focus on what went wrong, but how often do we high-five the wins??? 🤜🤛 John Troutman 🧪, Rachel Strauss ⭐️, Patrick Moore, Braden Monaco, Spencer Allen, CPBS, James Blachek, Katie Anderson, Justin Burgess, Anthony Masotto, Deb Ault, Jordan Taradash, Jessica Brooks Woods, Chris Deacon, 🎙Spencer Smith, CSFS®, Allison De Paoli, Dave Chase, Health Rosetta-discovering archaeologist, Sims Tillirson Healthcare’s got enough CRITICS—what it needs are CHAMPIONS. What do YOU do to celebrate the wins? 👊🏅
