common management style is to put out fires when they happen. This is referred to as a reactive style, which is not always the best way to succeed. Reactive style creates a vicious cycle of hurry, inefficiency and stress. It provides much less time, if any for development, leadership and innovation. It makes it very difficult for a manager of this style to be a great leader. One who cannot manage oneself can never successfully manage others. A second and far better style is a proactive style. Here the manager has learned the skill of selfmanagement. Instead of constantly being in panic and reacting mode, he or she prepares and plans for the future. Proactive managers plan how to prevent fires and execute their plan prior to seeing any smoke. This strategy leaves plenty of space for leadership, development and innovation.

Luck or Skill? Reactive business strategies are those that respond to some unanticipated event only after it occurs, while proactive strategies are designed to anticipate possible challenges. Because no one can anticipate every possibility, no organization can be proactive in every situation. However, businesses that emphasize proactive strategy are usually more effective at dealing with challenges. A proactive or reactive style of management can be directly applicable to the strategy of any industry.

Think of this imagery contractual situation: A company, Reactive Inc., enters into a long term agreement with a supplier, Proactive Inc. Reactive does not have a legal strategy. It negotiates the agreement without legal consultation, because it wants to get things done without the legal hassle. At some point, problems arise in the contractual relationship. Reactive tries to solve the problems as they appear. All of the sudden, the problems escalate and Proactive sues Reactive. Now Reactive approaches an attorney. The supplier in this contractual relationship, Proactive Inc., has a proactive legal strategy. It keeps its attorney up to date on the contract negotiations and receives constant feedback. The agreement is legally solid on the Proactive’s side. When the problems arise, Proactive consults its attorneys immediately. The attorneys see the possibility for future conflict and give Proactive specific advice on what kind of correspondence should be executed to manage the risks in advance. When things escalate, Proactive terminates the agreement and takes legal action. Which one you think has the stronger hand, the purchaser, Reactive, or the supplier, Proactive? The war has most often been won before battle has even been joined.

Sun Tzu wrote: ‘victorious warriors win first and then go to war’. Winning with a reactive strategy is luck. Winning with a proactive strategy is skill. 12

3 Ways Medical Practices Can

Budget Smart for 2017 By Nick Hernandez


It is once again the time of year when medical practices should be working to finalize their operating budget for the next calendar year. Unfortunately, too few practices actually take the time to create a meaningful budget, instead seeing the endeavor as a complex, timeconsuming process that likely will not be used. Creating and following a budget involves selfdiscipline and sacrifice, but will help you develop wise spending habits to better manage your practice’s finances now and into the future. If you’re continually seeing failure at budgeting, the best place to look is usually at the fundamentals. It only takes a fundamental misstep or two to transform a well-planned and well-formed budget into a complete disaster. Budgets should be realistic, flexible, and consistent with practice goals and objectives.

Here are three keys to consider that will point you on the right track toward success as you build your budget: 1. Know why you are budgeting. If you’re developing a budget just because someone says it’s a good idea, it probably won’t help very much. Similarly, if you’re just following the steps in a practice finance workbook because it suggests this is a great way to move towards financial success, budgeting won’t help much at all. The reason for budgeting is to help you spend less than you earn. It shows you where your spending weaknesses are and provides the structure for you to get stronger in those areas. If you're in the dark about how much your practice spends and where you spend it, changing habits will be difficult. And even if you're financially comfortable, a budget can help you identify unnecessary expenditures and deduce ways to redirect funds towards your priorities. 2. Be realistic. It’s not going to work if you make huge, unrealistic assumptions right off the bat. Small steps work; big steps result in failure. Operating a medical practice can be unpredictable at times, and things happen that are out of your control. Consequently, look at where money can be moved around within a budget. For example, practices often use budgets to plan for future business growth and expansion. Capital saved on regular business expenditures may be placed into a special reserve account designated for selecting new business opportunities. Budgeting for future growth opportunities ensures that practices have capital on hand when needing to make quick decisions for expanding business operations. This capital may also be used during slow economic times as a safety net for paying regular business expenses. 3. Be flexible. There will usually be moments when you’re learning to budget when you discover that some element of your budget is just not right. Take time to readjust figures. It’s not realistic because you forgot about some key piece of information while making your plans, and that means the budget you developed doesn’t really work. Don’t panic. Don’t abandon your plans. Just go back to your plans, make the needed adjustments, and start over again. This is normal, it happens to everyone. It does not mean your budget was a failure at all, it just means it needed to evolve a little bit. Regularly revisiting your practice’s budget will help you better control financial decisions because you will know exactly what you can afford to spend versus how much the practice is projecting to make. An accurate, useful budget can be a valuable decision-making tool to analyze potential business threats and opportunities and help physician owners and practice administrators make sound, strategic, and disciplined choices. Having a business budget in place enables you to plan ahead, prioritize your allocation of funds and gauge whether your financial predictions are being met. It will also enable you to make educated decisions to enhance your business operations with added clarity and efficiency. When properly executed, a practice budget will quickly become one of the most valuable resources in a practice’s decision-making toolbox. A proactive, comprehensive budget gives a practice the ability to properly track results, identify areas of concern, and quickly intervene when issues arise. And don’t be afraid to seek out the professional advice of a healthcare consultant or CPA. They have worked with many practices and can help identify budgetary items which you may be inclined to overlook.

Holiday 5 Entertaining

Tips

The holiday season is packed with social events big and small. What makes some more memorable than others? The extra thought and special touches from the host or hostess. 16

Guaranteed to Help Hosts Impress Guests

C

ookbook author and entertaining expert Gaby Dalkin recently teamed up with the Paper & Packaging - How Life Unfolds campaign to share how you can make a big statement this season with surprisingly little effort. These five entertaining tips are guaranteed to help you create a one-of-kind party, leaving guests impressed and full of holiday spirit.

CONQUER HOLIDAY STRESS WITH TO-DO LISTS To reduce stress, stay organized and ensure you maintain a merry attitude, use printed templates to create handwritten holiday party to-do lists. "I start my to-do lists weeks before the celebration and break them down by day," Dalkin says. "A few days before the big event, I stock up on beverages. Two days before I buy all the shelfstable ingredients. The day before, all the produce goes into the fridge, Doctor’s Life Tampa Bay

and I make any sauces or appetizers that can rest in the fridge overnight without being affected. And then, the day of the party is broken down by the hour. If you're making a roast, start it in the morning. A salad can be prepped ahead of time and dressed before serving."

ELEVATE GIFTING WITH PERSONALIZED PRESENTATION Nearly half of Americans feel that gift presentation enhances the gift they give or receive, according to a Paper and Packaging Board survey. That means if you want to impress, don't skimp on gift presentation. "I grab a few rolls of brown kraft paper and make it special," Dalkin says. "If I'm sending a present to someone who loves food, I'll grab some stamps with fun food on them and stamp the paper so it's customized for that individual. If it's my younger niece, I'll stamp it with some hearts. These small gestures make a big impact." Issue 5, 2016


USE A CREATIVE APPROACH TO ASSIGNED SEATING Assigned seating is particularly helpful when entertaining large groups. It takes the guesswork out of sitting down to dinner and keeps the evening flowing smoothly. It's also an easy way to add festive style to the tabletop. "If I'm entertaining for more than 10, I'll make little fold-over name tags out of cute cardstock," says Dalkin. "I'll punch a hole in the paper name tag and weave in a bit of rosemary, paper ribbon or a fresh flower to give it an extra pop."

Issue 5, 2016

ADD PIZAZZ WITH A CHAMPAGNE BAR The survey also found that for approximately half of Americans, a cocktail bar stands out as a key component for an unforgettable holiday party. Add an easy yet elegant touch to any holiday gathering by setting up a Champagne bar. Simply chill a few bottles, place on a bar cart and add bowls of fresh berries and carafes of fresh squeezed juices. Include handwritten cardstock labels near each ingredient so your guests can mix and match to their hearts' content. This no-fuss station encourages guests to make their own cocktails at their leisure, giving the host extra time to catch up. Plus, Dalkin adds, "I've found that Champagne bars are often one of the most photographed elements of the night."

Doctor’s Life Tampa Bay

SEND GUESTS HOME WITH A LITTLE SOMETHING HOMEMADE Frozen cookie dough is one of the trendiest homemade gifts of the year. Just whip up your favorite batch of dough, tightly wrap it in parchment paper and freeze. Then add some holiday ribbons, a personalized paper label and handwritten baking instructions. "Recipients can slice and bake at their leisure and file the recipe card for years to come," says Dalkin. "You can make the same thing for everyone, or perhaps a few different batches to suit any sweet tooth. I think of it as a gift that keeps giving."

Ron Saul Makes

Priority (BPT) - Former Washington Redskins great Ron Saul has been a part of some storied football teams and was a crucial member of the Redskins' most famous offensive line unit. Ron attributes a key part of his career success to the support of the fans. Now, Ron has partnered with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in order to return this support to the community and his fans by sharing his 18-year health journey living with type 2 diabetes.

T

he dedication and commitment Ron applied to his professional football career has also helped him handle his type 2 diabetes journey. Ron notes, "For me, my football mantra was always 'there's no such thing as giving up.' This mantra has become a mindset that I have continued to apply off the field - to help me stay on track with managing my type 2 diabetes." Since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Ron has been proactive in seeking out information and support to help him live well with diabetes and has focused on making healthy living a priority. He uses these simple techniques and tips to help reach his goals: •S taying active: Ron makes sure to plan time for exercise by using the elliptical daily and golfing regularly •E ating well: hosting football tailgate parties helps Ron ensure there will be tasty, healthy options among the dishes •S etting personal goals: prioritizing his diabetes management, Ron sets personalized goals and uses the downloadable Healthy Habits Tracker to help him reach his target goals "It's important to stay active, eat healthy, and work closely with your healthcare team," says Ron. After trying many medications to manage his blood sugar, Ron's doctor suggested INVOKANA® (canagliflozin), to help lower his blood sugar (A1C). "Now I look forward to each A1C test to track my progress toward my goal," Ron notes. INVOKANA® is a once-daily pill used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. In most clinical trials, the majority of people taking INVOKANA® reached an A1C goal of less than 7.0, a goal recommended by the American Diabetes Association. INVOKANA® works with the kidneys to help adults with type 2 diabetes lose some sugar through the process of urination. In clinical trials, treatment was also shown to reduce body weight and systolic blood pressure, and was generally well tolerated. The most common side effects of INVOKANA® include genital yeast infections, urinary tract infection, and changes in urination.[i] These specific

adverse events were generally mild to moderate in intensity in clinical studies. For Ron, "a key goal of mine is reaching my target blood sugar level of 7.0. However, about one-third of Americans with diabetes aren't meeting that same goal." By working closely with his doctor, Ron has been able better manage his type 2 diabetes and take control of his health. "That's why I've partnered with Janssen to share my story, so I can bring awareness to type 2 diabetes and help motivate others to take action to achieve their target blood sugar levels." Visit www.INVOKANA.com to learn more about diabetes management including treatment with INVOKANA®. While there, be sure to check out the personalized goalsetting resources offered including the Healthy Habits Tracker.

WHAT IS INVOKANA®? INVOKANA® is a prescription medicine used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. INVOKANA® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or with diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in blood or urine). It is not known if INVOKANA® is safe and effective in children under 18 years of age. CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Dietary Guidelines While 2016 is the Year of the Monkey on the Chinese calendar, in the world of food and nutrition, it's the Year of the Egg.

T

he recently released 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans provides key recommendations for healthy eating patterns for the consumption of a variety of protein foods in nutrient-dense forms, like eggs. For eggs to be considered a nutrientdense protein, eating the yolk is a must because the yolk is where key nutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids are found. What's more, the new Dietary Guidelines no longer limit the consumption of dietary cholesterol which was a nutrient of concern in the past. Instead, the Guidelines recommend limiting the intake of saturated fats and trans fats. "For years, many Americans were led to think that whole eggs should be limited or even cut out of their diets to avoid high cholesterol," says Registered

22

Dietitian Lyssie Lakatos. "These new recommendations show that eggs truly are a great source of protein and are filled with important nutrients we need. I've always recommended Eggland's Best eggs since they are packed with three times more vitamin B12, five times more vitamin D, 10 times more vitamin E and double the omega-3 fatty acids, when compared to ordinary eggs, thanks to their proprietary hen feed." Below, Lakatos gives tips on how to incorporate eggs into a healthy meal plan any time of day. Breakfast: There isn't a more classic breakfast food than the egg. Whether you like your eggs scrambled, poached or overeasy, they can be great all by themselves or paired with a bowl of fruit or whole grain toast. When pairing your eggs with other breakfast items, be mindful of foods high Doctor’s Life Tampa Bay

in saturated fat. Lakatos chooses Eggland's Best eggs which contain 25 percent less saturated fat than ordinary eggs. Snacks: Although eggs are a great breakfast food, we often forget they can also be the perfect snack. Lakatos keeps EB Hard Cooked Peeled Eggs in her refrigerator for a post-workout snack because they are rich in vitamins necessary for optimal muscle recovery such as B vitamins, vitamin D and vitamin E. Lunch and dinner: Whether it's meatless Monday or you're just looking to incorporate more eggs into your diet, there are plenty of ways to include eggs in your lunch and dinner. Having an egg salad sandwich for lunch or mixing eggs into a great stir fry for dinner are just few ideas to incorporate eggs into your diet.
