92: Nick Jacobs Part 2
WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? Nick’s Big Idea ties to the quote often attributed to John Wesley: “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” His work in regional healthcare speaks to this.
Nick turned Windber Medical Center into a Planetree Facility. He stresses that you’re not creating what people will like. You’re creating what people will love.
Nick recommends a number of books:
Change or Die by Alan Deustchman
The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell
The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris
HIT THE BULLS EYE.
Geico’s Gekko or the Aflac Duck? Nick chose the Gecko because he’s funny and memorable.
UPMC Life Changing Medicine or AHN Health for All? Nick went with AHN because he believes population medicine is necessary for our national healthcare system to survive and thrive.
