Dr. John Poothullil

Soaring U.S. Healthcare Costs Part 2: The Proposal

Dr. John Poothullil

Reading Time: 5 minutesIn this article, I my proposal for how we can reduce the costs of healthcare by implementing a system of periodic assessments of CPT codes and costs.

It’s Impossible To Motivate Unmotivated Staff

Mark Oliver

Reading Time: 4 minutesIt can certainly be hard to motivate people and strictly speaking it is true we cannot make others motivated. Command-and-control managers often get frustrated because they believe that motivating employees is about their authority and tangible things such as money. Exerting authority is a common management approach but that is different to leadership. You can compel people to do what you want, but that’s not leadership, and it tends to be a good way to turn engaged staff into disengaged staff. According to a 2023 Gallup survey, some 77% of…

Making Your Most Important Investment Work

Mark Oliver

Reading Time: 3 minutesTo get the best performance from your employees, it is critical that you provide structures and systems (including pay systems) that motivate them.
