We often receive an email from the Chief of Staff on Wednesdays. The email is meant to unite the physicians at Cleveland Clinic around a common idea/topic/thought for that week. One of the emails mentioned "A virtuous culture built on the seven classical virtues of trust, justice, hope, temperance, wisdom, courage and compassion. These virtues offer us 25 centuries of wisdom about human conduct at its best." As a simple exercise, try thinking about one of those each day of the week , make it the "theme of the day ": Monday - Trust Tuesday - Justice Wednesday - Hope Thursday - Temperance Friday - Wisdom Saturday - Courage Sunday - Compassion These concepts are not new, of course.

Google has a vegetable garden Google was doing it in 2007: In Growing our connection to food, Google explained they launched a mini-farm on campus with 300 self-watering containers.

CEO & President, Dr. Toby Cosgrove reflects on Engaging Doctors in the Healthcare Revolution: From the article in Harvard Business Review ( http://bit.ly/1y1iyOI ): "Fixing health care will require a radical transformation, moving from a system organized around individual physicians to a team-based approach focused on patients. Doctors, of course, must be central players in the transformation: Any ambitious strategy that they do not embrace is doomed. And yet, many physicians are deeply anxious about the changes under way and are mourning real or anticipated losses of autonomy, respect, and income. They are being told that they must accept new organizational structures, ways of working, payment models, and performance goals.
