...but you still need to get the football in the end zone for it to count. Marching the ball down the field 99 yards is truly commendable, but ultimately will not win the game. There's been many game stats reported of extraordinary passing and rushing yards and it seems like the teams with those more favorable numbers should always win the game, right? Well, it doesn't happen that way...you still need to score.

This is a great time of year and what a fun weekend full of college football...as I'm sitting here typing this blog, I'm watching the Rutgers vs Fresno State game...Go Dogs! (they are scoreless at halftime, need to calm down and convert in the red zone).

I was listening to the pregame interview with some of the coaches. One of them stated "we don't run plays, we run players". Mmmm, I thought that was very profound...their philosophy is to choose the right fit and mix of talent for each execution and that each team member can contribute in some way in some designated play or set of plays.

That philosophy can be adopted in the healthcare setting as well, there is not a single individual that is soley talented, knowlegeable, and skilled in every single aspect of care or running the services, but there are numerous individuals that have a variety of abilities and when combined with other team members, can be a recipe for effective and successful outcomes. Let's strive to "execute" the plays and identify and utilize the most appropriate colleagues to not only "march it down the field", but take it "ALL THE WAY!"
