2. Physician Coach Mark Jaben MD on the Vital Triad of Vision-Strategy-Tactics

Whenever you want to make a change in your life or your practice or you are working with a group/team of people and you want to make sure they are pulling in the same direction …

This word triad gives you a road map to preventing your own physician burnout AND ensures all significant group decisions in your practice will be on target.

VISION STRATEGY TACTICS

IN THAT ORDER!!!

In today’s episode, Dr. Mark Jaben, an experienced emergency room physician and the County Health Officer of Haywood County in North Carolina and also one of our coaches at TheHappyMD.com, shares how he realized his vision when he went to work in a little hospital in New Zealand.

He talks about his struggles, the lessons that he learned and brought back to the U.S., and how he pivoted his focus from career to family and put this word stack tool to use.

“A lot of times when there's struggle inside organizations, a lot of times when there’s struggle in your life, it's that we haven't got a clear vision. What is the Ideal Outcome here?”
