Lately, in my leadership class - The Academy - we've been discussing a book called, Good to Great by Jim Collins. Chapter 3 discusses 'First who, then What' & the idea of which each company is a bus. The chapter states, "If we get the right people on the bus, the right people in the right seats, and the wrong people off the bus, then we'll figure out how to take it someplace great."
As most may know, I'm becoming increasingly unhappy with my job. I currently hold over 180 cases, opening more and as of Friday my assistant was fired. Therefore, as of now - it's all up to me: to do the packets, open cases, meet families, schedule appointments, speak to angry parents, etc. I feel the support is limited, communication is lacking and each person within our department has different levels of commitment. I currently am not looking for anything else but feel the time is soon. I am allowing this to own my attitude, my life, my Sunday night... Sometimes I believe corporate world is not for me. I am too strong, I want to believe but I feel everyone is a robot and puts on such a good act & I can't do it.
So I wrote this to submit to the Academy for tomorrow:
As for my current seat, I am unsure of where I fit on the bus of Foundations Behavioral Health. I feel the department which I am in is struggling and the support could be stronger for my position. As of Friday, the Bucks County assistant was asked to leave. I understand this will cause greater pressure and motivation from myself, but I believe she was the wrong person for our bus. With limited enthusiasm, desire and team work she did not help but hurt our productivity and positive attitude. I wish I could have the vision to see what is ahead of us and how we will succeed. I realize there may not be a route to follow but feeling confident and trustworthy must be obtained before moving forward.
