In this episode, Sue Tetzlaff discusses the challenges and strategies for leadership in healthcare organizations, emphasizing the importance of moving beyond the status quo to foster growth and community impact. She introduces two contrasting formulas for organizational success: the fading formula, which leads to deterioration, and the rocket fuel formula, which focuses on investing in people, service, and quality to drive growth. Tetzlaff shares her experiences and insights on strategic planning and execution, urging leaders to prioritize foundational pillars for sustainable improvement.

The strategic formula you follow matters: the “Fading Formula” leads to burnout and stagnation, while the “Rocket Fuel Formula” powers lasting improvement and faster growth.
