It's a team. And it's a chain or group of the at hierarchical that starts at the top, and you work your way through all the way down. And you have to keep saying the same message, the same trust, the same input methods. And that collection of understandings is brewed through that process. So that's my story of leadership. The Medical Director shows up, like a week after the implementation, it's very successful. And he comes in with a sheet cake, and a stack of plates and a knife, and plastic forks and napkins. There's no HR and come with him and Public Affairs didn't come with him. He just showed up, he did it himself. And he goes around and cuts a slice of cake and goes over to each call taker. hands it to them, shakes their hand and says thank you. There, we couldn't have done it without his walk in the walk. He's talking the talk. And boy, is he showing gratitude. And 10 years later, people still talk about it.Links   Brad is proud to support many Australian businesses.
