15. How do therapists fall short of demonstrating personal value?

17. valuable

18. to your department???

19. Think about it.

20. If they gave you the boot

21. or you just left tomorrow,

22. would your contribution be missed?

23. Lets consider Jack Welch’s theory of differentiation.

25. Jack believes

26. in any organization

27. there are 20%

28. that are the real go getters,

29. 10%

30. that a company could easily get along without,

31. and the other 70%

32. that fall somewhere in between.

33. Encourage the top 20%, The A Players

35. eliminate the bottom 10% the C players

38. and a company will ultimately thrive .

40. Lets make Welch’s theories personal for the practicing RCP

41. RCP C

42. RCP B

43. RCP A

44. So back to our scenario

45. would you be missed

46. by your organization

47. if you were not around

48. tomorrow?

49. You might say yes

50. If you are RCP C

51. Because

52. You attend some of the seemingly

54. you are a relatively reliable employee?

55. You do a lot of treatments and procedures Between text messages and personal calls, when you get to them

56. and

57. Usually get MOST of your charting done before leaving?

58. And

62. You might say yes

63. If you are

64. RCP B

65. Because

66. You are a moderately engaged employee

67. who cares about their work?

68. You have even read a journal article some time

69. or at least once

70. in the last year OR

71. since you left respiratory school

72. You volunteered for overtime

73. before Christmas last year

74. And you even take a call shift

75. Occasionally?

77. You might say yes

78. If you are

79. RCP A

80. Because your department

81. was lucky enough to find in you

82. a quality

83. results driven therapist

84. bent on quality improvement

85. throughout the continuum,

86. demonstrating value at every turn

87. who is dedicated to excellence

88. Raising the bar for those around you by

89. elimination of errors

90. both personal

91. and in the systems and process of patient care

92. Completely bought in to

93. the department’s and facility’s

94. goals and missions

96. with a get it done attitude

97. toward everything

98. that comes your way??

99. Now we’re talking!!!!

100. Consider for a minute where you fall…

101. RCP A

102. B

103. OR

104. C

105. are you at a place where your department might be better off

106. with you gone?

107. Tough question,

108. But Better asked and answered honestly

109. in personal assessment

110. rather than an

111. ANNUAL EVALUATION

112. With all of that said lets talk about:

113. Do-able ways to increase value

114. If the goal is to demonstrate personal value at work:

116. Professional association membership

118. Review journals

119. Attend seminars-local, state, national

120. Visit internet for news and data on profession and improvements to daily work world

123. That brings us to today’s subject

124. RCPs enhancing their personal value and working for improvements in patient care and being/becoming the A players
