Executive journey: from 1,300 FTEs to none.
The story of how one woman, Mary Jane Mastorovich, traveled the journey from the traditional role of a nurse executive, responsible for 1,300 full-time equivalents (FTEs) and an annual budget of $166 million, to that of a major change agent in a system-wide redesign effort. Her travels and the lessons she learned along the way give insight into how to develop strategies and methods for personal and professional transformation. Her story also illustrates the balance between positional power and the power of influence as we face the roller coaster ride that will be health care delivery in the next century.
