Shelby County Commission in Alabama. Strong presence with BCBS of Alabama with influence over the County commissioners. Comptroller saw the value and helped me take it to the people (i.e. Managers and Supervisors). Went in with an HMO alternative and signed up 95% of the population. BCBS of Alabama pulled out and thus the first exclusive group HMO was sold in Alabama. My last act with Southeast Health plan before I moved back to Jax to work at BCBS of Florida.
If you are busy during busy season it's usually a good thing because it's usually a productive busy. If you are constantly busy despite the season, then it's probably a sign that you need be better organized and look to better your system if it's not a matter of organization or a better system...

If you are busy during busy season it's usually a good thing because it's usually a productive busy. If you are constantly busy despite the season, then it's probably a sign that you need be better organized and look to better your system if it's not a matter of organization or a better system then you may need more staff. I remember Lee Iacocca saying something to the effect of; If you can't get your work done by five, you're doing something wrong. Running with a lower staff than the need dictates is counter productive, it increases turnover and burnout and ends up costing more in the long run. Along the same lines. I hate face time. I'd rather get out of the office and contemplate priorities or plan strategy then sit and "make work".

I would say. Actually, you could have more than you need. Let's take a good look and see if you're spending too much for what you have.
