As an ER physician, ensuring sustainable decision-making despite the push for quick wins involves balancing immediate needs with long-term outcomes. For example, prescribing antibiotics might quickly satisfy a patient, but overuse risks resistance. Instead, I assess if antibiotics are truly necessary, educate the patient, and choose treatments that won't compromise future health. Communicating the "why" behind decisions helps align the team towards sustainable care, even under pressure. Focus on root solutions, not just instant fixes—prioritize patient education and evidence-based protocols to maintain quality care.

You can implement dynamics that connect the team with the company's purpose and vision, promoting both individual and collective commitment. I do this through transformative questions that guide reflection and align efforts: 1. What does the organizational purpose represent for us and how can we live it in our daily tasks? 2. How does my role contribute to the achievement of strategic objectives? 3. What personal goals can I set that align with the long-term vision of the organization? 4. How can I develop my skills to add extraordinary value? 5. What concrete actions can I take to strengthen my team and the organization? Ask your team the right questions and extraordinary results will come💡

Do ensure consistent and long term decision-making across teams, it's important to collaboratively set goals, performance metrics, and reporting frequencies.

Quick wins are great, but sustainable success requires aligning decisions with long-term goals. Empower your team to think beyond immediate results and focus on creating lasting value.

To ensure sustainable decision-making with team members focused on quick wins, align their actions with long-term goals by emphasizing the bigger picture. Encourage a balanced approach that considers both immediate results and future outcomes. Use data to highlight the value of long-term strategies and involve the team in planning for sustainable growth. Recognize and celebrate incremental progress that contributes to long-term success, reinforcing the importance of sustainability in decision-making.
