“Successful people make it their business to hold ideals of the conditions they wish to realize. They constantly hold in mind the next step necessary to the ideal. Thoughts are the materials with which they build, imagination is their workshop, and mind is the moving force that brings together the people and circumstances needed to build their structure of success.” — Master Key, Point 24
When Calm Becomes the Strongest Driver
This week was full of events, yet I moved through each day calmly and deliberately the only approach that made sense. Any unrest would have disrupted the entire structure.
At work, I spent the whole weekend completing a project that started as nothing more than an idea last year: a fully photocatalytic-coated operating room. A wonderful opportunity and one that requires an enormous amount of work.
We are the first to coat an OR with photocatalytic pigments and to apply a self-disinfecting coating to all surfaces. The window coating lasts until the windows are replaced, the wall coating lasts five years, and the device coating lasts one year.
This brings massive resource savings and is naturally environmentally friendly. A true game changer in the world of hygiene.
Developing the product in Austria, convincing hospital management and the heart surgeon to test it, installing everything this weekend and now the measurements and analyses will follow. There has been plenty of resistance.
New approaches are often suspected the moment anything isn’t perfect. Groups behave much like inner systems: change triggers pushback.
Fortunately, I’m more relaxed now and can respond to concerns and accusations with understanding. The project is up and running and I suspect it can no longer be stopped.
