What a great visit to Carlinville Area Hospital with CEO, Brian Burnside, and his executive team. Talk about red carpet treatment!

Besides the breakfast and swag, the team learned how the hospital operates like a business. “We are building a comprehensive rural health organization.” To do so requires, “a vision for 3 things; growth, strategy, and culture.”

The conversation bubbled up some of the most essential business strategies our young professionals are striving towards:

Market share growth: “if you’re going to need a hospital, why not us?”
Staff Culture: “we try and see everything through our teammates eyes.”
Problem solving: “Everything is Figureoutable!”
Success: “predict the future by making it happen.”
And don’t just meet expectations, “strive to always exceed them!” Shout out CEO’s creator, the late Craig Lindvahl, who routinely challenged CEO professionals to “create the WOW!”
