The strength of the righteous

Trying to do the right thing, or at least what you feel is the right thing, is often difficult and often does not achieve the results that you would like.

Of course, the right thing is just a world view and never actually right.

In the recently published podcast of The Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett, he interviews Simon Sinek.

I’m writing this blog before I listen to it apart from the trailer quotes that I heard when I realised it was around.

I would consider myself to be a devotee of Simon Sinek even so strong as to describe myself as a disciple.

In the preview soundbites, Sinek discusses the fact that many people know what they do, and some people know how they do it but very few people actually know why.

Being able to articulate why is perhaps one of the most important things, certainly in Sinek’s view, because he believes that people who are unable to express their why make decisions without it and therefore become frustrated.

I’m quite clear on why I go to work, and I live in this ridiculous position of not having to do that anymore.

For that reason, I live in a powerful and righteous position because I can push back against people who are horrible to me.

As many people in our industry do, we have a very small cohort of patients who are just quite toxic and who continue to return back and back, demanding and insisting in unreasonable ways for things that are just quite simply outrageous.

There is one individual who has now become effectively ‘famous’ in the practice for this type of behaviour.

These individuals are often quite clever as they make it difficult for you to finalise the relationship and I may regret writing this because it may get horrible and terrible but, in the position, I find myself in now and knowing why I come to work and knowing that this individual is not responsive for the why I come to work, I’m happy to stand in front of my team and protect them and send them away.

I am very confident that everybody within our organisation who has had the need to interact with this individual has done so in the most extraordinary way and I fully expect anybody who reviews that to say that too.

I’m then in a comfortable position where I can sit in my chair on the top of the hill of righteous and send them away.
