. As a major teaching hospital and research center, the University of Colorado Hospital doesn't just stay current with the latest advances. It creates many of those advances, not only in the clinical area, but also in administration. Much of this is driven by ongoing learning. So when the hospital's HR leaders began planning an end-of-year gathering for 200 managers, directors, and vice presidents, they asked Tom to deliver a talk -- but not just any talk. They wanted a session that had enough substance to engage an audience full of people with advanced degrees. They wanted the session to appeal to a diverse group -- two-thirds from wide-ranging clinical backgrounds, the rest from business backgrounds. And they wanted it to be fun and tastefully humorous, to go with a festive holiday lunch immediately following the talk. The day was a big success, and the location certainly helped. The group met on the unfinished floor of one of the hospital's brand-new buildings. It was a great reminder that the work of building a better workplace is an ongoing process that can and should involve everyone.
