In this episode of Culture Change RX, Sue Tetzlaff explores how certain strategic decisions become turning points that forever change the future of an organization. She shares how courageous leaders move beyond incremental improvements to make trajectory-changing moves—decisions that blend clarity, courage, and execution. Listeners will gain insight into how Capstone Leadership partners with healthcare organizations to help them align strategy and execution, ensuring that their next big move doesn’t just shape results—it builds a legacy.

  • Every organization has pivotal moments that change everything.
  • Pivotal moves can include new buildings, key hires, or strategic decisions.
  • In the history of an organization, those trajectory changing moves can be differentiated from those efforts that target incremental improvements or growth.
  • Healthcare organizations can make the shift that creates long-term culture change.
  • Contemplation of future trajectory changes is crucial for healthcare executives.
