How we view time can drastically shape our priorities and decision-making. UCLA Anderson School of Management researchers recommend a “bird’s-eye view” of time, balancing past, present, and future perspectives. This approach helps prioritize what truly matters over immediate, less significant tasks—contrasting with the “ground level” focus on urgent but short-term concerns. For entrepreneurs, this broader perspective is key to aligning daily actions with long-term strategic goals. Balancing immediate demands with future vision can be challenging. What strategies do you use to manage this? Share your tips! #uclaentrepreneurs #thoughtprovoking #discussion #timemanagement

In recent weeks we’ve been reminded of the critical nature of the IT systems and teams who support our organizations. When everything’s working well, we don’t think much about them, but when business operations grind to a halt, we have them on speed dial! Tanner Castro is one of these unsung heroes. Just when you think the world is about to end, Tanner shows up with a smile, and calmly and competently gets everything back in working order. Here’s to the #unsungheroes.

Congratulations to the 2024 graduates of the UCLA Johnson & Johnson Health Care Executive Program (HCEP)! Now in its 23rd year, this program offers leadership and management development training to executives of non-profit, community-based healthcare organizations serving medically underserved areas and populations nationwide. This year, nine UCLA Anderson School of Management students played a key role in helping these leaders develop change-management plans to address organizational challenges and create positive impacts in their communities. Dr. Kenneth Orduna, President & CEO of Central Neighborhood Christian Health Clinics, and our oldest participant at 84 years young, reflected on his experience in the program, saying, "I am grateful to God and the exceptional professors for providing me with new tools, processes, and strategies to...[provide] the best healthcare possible to the ‘least of these,’ with dignity and respect."
