What do physicians, leaders and entrepreneurs have in common? At a first glance, your image of physicians might be very different from that of leaders. And in their turn, you might see leaders as very different from entrepreneurs. And for sure they are not exactly the same people. You probably assume that the motivations - for each role - are also very different. But when you look a bit closer, they have quite some things in common. Think about it ... When it comes to work ethic, making...

"Where should I start? Where should I go? How will I know if things will really get better for my patients and myself, if I change my process?"

It probably hasn't escaped your notice... we had the Olympics in Paris, the previous weeks. I love the whole day of sport on TV! The excitement, the results, and also the close finishes.
