Great business lesson 👆 from the military.

In the Marine Corps we had the lace up boots, the combat boots that have speed laces and you can literally just yank them out or pull them up tight. They were always laced left over right. Every boot, every time. Left over right. No. As a 19 year old boot, right. Incoming. You think, how stupid, why am I doing this? Who cares? And sometimes people would take shortcuts. They might put it through three or four laces and then tie it and just wrap it behind, right? Any number of things. The problem is in combat, when somebody gets shot in the leg, you have to be able to yank it out and know that you can use that as a tourniquet. And there's a number of other uses. But I use that analogy because in healthcare, when the CFO or CEO is afraid to make the change, it ultimately hurts people down the road. It hurts that single mom who's trying to fill a prescription and the prescription's 30 bucks when in reality she could have paid cash of 7.
