Then forget about the way you fulfilled that mission in the past and open your mind to how you might satisfy your purpose in an entirely different way in the future. We will have to change and adapt. Some who were weak will survive, if only because they recognized the need to get smarter in order to survive. Others who were once strong may not survive because they shrouded themselves in arrogance and complacency.

From these survival lessons emerge five essential strategies that each of us, whether at the bedside or in the boardroom, must ingrain in our personal and professional practice. Each of these strategies must become a balanced part of our everyday lives. No one strategy should dominate another. Together these five strategies define our practice for the future. Drive towards meaningful outcomes.
