" I NEED YOU TO KNOW your job is
safe...And those of us who lead through
this well will land in a good place. " I'm
Thom Pastor, CDM, CFPP, Food Services
Manager at St. Charles Bend, and that
was my script for Morgan Stein, our
Executive Chef; and Mary Diehl, our
Patient and Retail Supervisor. It was
the best I could come up with for the
situation. I believed it to be true, but it
was cold comfort.
In May 2022, our organization
announced layoffs of 105 caregivers
and 74 open positions would close
unfilled. My role was to lay off five of
our Food and Event Service caregivers,
demote a newly promoted supervisor,
close Event Services and two retail
operations, and further reduce our
department's scheduled hours. Many
members of the team who remained
were required to take on new roles and
schedules that impacted their lives and
families. Everyone experienced grief
and the stress of an uncertain future.
HOW SHARED MINDSETS OF
GROWTH FOSTER A COHESIVE
LEADERSHIP TEAM
BY THOM PASTOR, CDM, CFPP;
MORGAN STEIN; AND MARY DIEHL
Several peers and departments we
previously relied on were gone.
The remaining leaders were busy
figuring out how to manage in this
new environment. There were no
instructions on leading a foodservice
department through layoffs, so we
had to figure it out ourselves. Looking
back, we realized this was a turning
point for how the three of us relate as
a leadership team.
We were always learners. We sought
opportunities to become better
leaders for our team and organization.
Now we work to grow each other.
We've changed from trying to be the
smartest people we can be, to being
the smartest team we can be. While we
face the ongoing challenges of staffing
shortages and financial pressures, we
have landed in a good place.
Continuous learning and growth
opportunities have become deeply
ingrained in our leadership

team's values. We continue to seek
learning opportunities together
and individually; both formal and
informal. A learning mindset is not
just a good trait, it is essential to our
team cohesion.
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
ABOUND
Effective leadership teams understand
the importance of continuous
learning and personal development
to stay ahead in today's challenging
landscape. Various types of learning
opportunities empower leaders to
enhance their skills, gain new insights,
and foster innovative thinking. From
structured programs to informal
on-the-job experiences, leaders can
engage in a diverse range of learning
methods to strengthen their leadership
capabilities and drive success within
their organizations.
