Mission Driven - Thoughts on Community Health Center Governing Boards and Executive Directors

Mission Driven - Thoughts on Community Health Center Governing Boards and Executive Directors

Community Health Center (CHC) leaders need to communicate so people around them know what they are trying to do. They are purpose driven-- mission driven. They know how to establish a mission.

They know how to say “no”.

The pressure on leaders to do a million different things is unbearable; the effective ones learn how to say no and stick with it. They don't suffocate themselves as a result.

Too many Community Health Center Executive Directors and Governing Boards try to do a little bit of 25 things, and get nothing done. They are very popular because they always say “yes”. But they get nothing done.
