How to Execute like a Boss
At HealthRise, we are known for our real-time execution. We not only strategize and come up with solutions, but we get in there and get it done with our partnering healthcare systems. Executing in fluid fashion in a changing environment is what real-time execution is all about. It is a point of pride for our entire company, and I can say from experience, there is nothing like the feeling of getting a job done and done well.
Real-time execution is the seamless, agile and intensely focused pursuit that brings home the goods for any hunter. Real-time execution can move you through hazards, around obstacles and on toward whatever outcome you have targeted for success.
Real-time execution has many elements, but I want to focus on data and pivots. Data is vital to our work in revenue cycle management, but it also has great impact on every business and all of our personal lives. The best thing about data is that it is simply information: there’s no judgement or feelings attached. You are in a great scouting position, taking a tree stand view of the situation.
Real data consists of hard facts that can prove or disprove your hunt. Macro data tells you if you are on the right trail; micro data lets you dig into details, spot weaknesses and look for industry changing practices. Execution on the hunt means being positioned to spot – and act on – the small but mighty opportunities hidden all around you.
The ability to pivot is directly tied to being present and in the moment on your hunt. This step is where you spot an opportunity and act with precision and decisiveness, knowing it will take you closer to your target. What does being present mean? It means harnessing your focus to the issue at hand. It’s the moment before you let loose an arrow or pull a trigger; when the target is in crystal clear focus and body, mind and spirit are connected.
By embracing the small wins on your hunt, you stay focused on the big issues that make the pursuit worthwhile in the first place. It’s critical when taking any trophy to congratulate yourself, your team and your family for grabbing the prizes you’ve all earned. Feel free to love these breakout moments; they are the moments that will keep you going when the terrain gets rough.
