When I was in corporate, I always acted outside of the box as if it was my own company. I insisted that I have my own P&L, office and staff. I got push back from time to time and when I did, I pushed back on them... they always backed off when push came to shove. The big boys and gals would look at my P&L and call off their dogs.But covering too many Rears is how you end up buried…
Back in my college days a lot of emphasis was on Thinking Outside the Box and Empowering employees to solve problems.
It seems that much of corporate is about being politically correct and cya…
My strong suit is performance as in getting it done…
Not once has a surgery ever been cancelled on my watch due to a problem with the facility.
During the merger all accounts payable was transferred to corp but corp dropped the ball on ATT Voice and Internet and Waste Management.
In other words these vendors not paid and past due notices sent to corp so clueless here.
Everyone coming to me so I dig deep and find the Hospital is 17k in arrears with ATT and service suspended…
No one in corp could help… it had to go through channels…
Hell with that, I put it on my own personal credit card because the emergency Admin Corp Card has a 10k transaction limit and was declined…
Waste Management similar but was not affecting internal operations as no ATT…
