Medworld has become a technology business.
I, on the other hand, have not become a technologist!
I’m a doctor, with good experience in business, but my solution to most technology challenges is to turn the machine off and on and hope for the best.
So how can I lead a technology business?
Firstly, I have to deeply know the space we are in, namely how doctors live and work.
And secondly, I have to ask better questions of my technologists to help them get the best from themselves.
Confidence must not be blind; we must know when making it up is OK, and when it absolutely is not.
No matter where you look, all ancient wisdom points to one thing…

Recently I’ve been making a conscious effort to say nice things to people.
Mindfulness meditation, when done regularly over a long period of time, helps to create space between stimulus and response.
