I have not posted anything for a while.

I have been studying and "worrying" with ideas about and approaches to leadership, cooperation, trust within communities. All of these must come to life if we are to spread the innovations we are currently working on and if we are to create a sustainable approach to the six aims of the Institute of Medicine Chasm report. Most of the leadership material is focused within corporations and teams. There is a very useful literature on "social networks" that deals with relationships which generate or degenerate trust and cooperation. Bill Mahoney and I are trying to make this usable for Pursuing Perfection in healthcare.

I have come to believe that the fate of American medicine rests with sociological and anthropological innovations more than it rest on technical or financial innovations. Call me weird. (a both/and thing, not either/or)
