I can't count the number of times I've used their "creative tension" principle since then, in business and in life.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I find that the biggest obstacle is people who fight (sometimes viciously) against being clear about current reality. Without that clarity, there's no chance of creating any effective creative tension. That's where the work on transparency makes all the difference in the world. All the difference in the world.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting those key points and best practices. They're an inside perspective of the similar points I emailed you after that board meeting, which came from my perspective as a patient. I can see how they dovetail beautifully.<BR/><BR/>(My only residual concern about safety is my recent discovery that the nurse practitioner with her hands "palpating" my neck was a Yankees fan! Whatcha gonna do about THAT hazard??)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
