So much of what you said was inspiring, but what really meant the most to me were your points about treating people with respect and with the intent to help them be better. When that happens, everyone is made better. It seems so simple, but not always as easy to practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-84453442395960175012013-01-26T13:31:59.876-05:002013-01-26T13:31:59.876-05:00Thank-you for spending time with us this week and ...Thank-you for spending time with us this week and your compliments in your blog.

I was also hugely impressed by their enthusiasm and the thoughtful way in which they set priorities and plan new things. When a vice president introduced one of the events and said "We aren't doing this because it will save money. We aren't doing this to be more efficient. We are doing this because it is the right thing to do" I was blown away. As a Canadian, I didn't expect a high-ranking executive to have his eye on anything but the bottom line. CMH rocks!

Children's in KC is why I started the company - the challenge of how do we do it better was on the lips and minds of EVERY individual. I am constantly blown away by their willingness to innovate and their ability to motivate and move a giant team of individuals towards a common goal. We in KC are truly blessed to H&R such an organization! Thank you of your post and sharing with your readers about our jewel. <br /><br />Thanks<br />K--Kourtney Govrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11530299098014446072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-67031071031343873422013-01-25T07:29:35.706-05:002013-01-25T07:29:35.706-05:00The hospital was 'a buzz' all day with exc...The hospital was 'a buzz' all day with excitement around your visit.

Your thoughtfulness in your blog and throughout your visit is a great example on how to be an effective and great leader.
