Manage Expectations = Be Kind to Yourself


This week, I had the chance to meet 10+ CEOs and Directors within the Ardent Health Services family. The conversations were encouraging, enlightening and challenging. 


Jim Kaltenbacher, CEO of Utica Park and OHI clinics said one thing that stood out. He said, “Two years. It’ll take at least two years to understand the ins and outs of this system.”  As a new employee, that was so helpful. 

I will definitely hit the ground running, but envisioning a longer ramp is a way of showing myself kindness. There’s a lot to learn. Thank you, Jim, for acknowledging this and setting realistic expectations.
