The HBR blog has a post titled, Reward Value, Not Face Time and it brings me back around to the idea of managing a mobile workforce. I really do see more mobile healthcare workforces as an opportunity for hospital leaders to become more effective and efficient with the management of their limited and constrained resources.
Like Tony, I too realized that the more autonomy I give people, the more confident and expert they became in their domains, the more ownership they took of their results and the happier they were at work.
I don't want to harp on this subject. Instead, I'll just end by sharing a quote from the article that sums it all up perfectly.
The job of a leader or a manager, I've concluded, isn't to tell people how to get their jobs done, or when and where they do their best work. Rather, it's to free, fuel and inspire them to bring the best of themselves to work every day.
