Summer Holiday Questions for Chief Execs

Most Chief Execs are going to be on holiday for a couple of weeks soon. Rest and relaxation hopefully, but also a chance to reflect on some deeper questions, away from the cut and thrust of day to day life in the NHS.

At the risk of ruining a few holidays, here’s my list of questions to mull on whilst lying on the beach or pottering along cobbled streets etc.

1.How can my organisation clearly demonstrate that it accepts a fair share of the responsibility for getting UK plc out of the mire?

2. How can we still keep a focus on creating our future whilst coping well with the financial uncertainties and challenges of the next few years?

3. Do I really care about quality?

4. How many staff want to work for my organisation more than any other and how can we get this number up next year?

5. If my organisation didn’t exist would local people demand that we be created exactly as we are now?

6. Am I still keenly interested in healthcare and serving people?

Got any better questions to pass the time on a sunny beach?
