Stop Overthinking. Start Leading

In the early 2000s, 100,000 people in the U.S. died every year from hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).

In 2006, Dr. Peter Pronovost decided to change that. He introduced a simple checklist in Michigan hospitals to prevent infections from central-line catheters. The checklist included basic steps like washing hands and following hygiene rules. The results? - Infections dropped by 66% - 1,500 lives saved in just 18 months One doctor changed the way hospitals operated across the country. One person told experienced doctors they needed to improve their procedures. How did he do it? Feel free to read the book title "Switch, How to change things when change is hard" Because knowledge isn’t enough. Change happens when action is made easy and inevitable. Here are 3 simply steps: - Set clear expectations. - Recognize small wins. - Create an environment that encourages the right behavior. What does this mean for you? When you are promoted in your job from sales personal to be a people manager, you already know how to sell, but leading a team is a different game. Maybe you're overthinking: - Should I wait until I fully understand leadership? - What if my team doesn’t respond well? - How do I make sure I’m the perfect manager? Waiting for the “right” moment to lead is like waiting for motivation to wash your hands. It’s unnecessary. Your team needs action, not hesitation. See you at the top!
