The Mathis Maxims
When Larry L. Mathis was selected CEO of The Methodist Healthcare System in Houston at age 39, he began keeping a journal of the truth as he saw it--in the form of maxims. Each is the product of excruciating experience and told with often hilarious details. The range of Mathis' experiences led him to understand that "Leadership in life and death situations is different than that described in the management books." While his maxims primarily deal with the challenges every leader faces, they also touch on life, love, wisdom and folly. These maxims are valuable and entertaining reading for both the beginning executive and the seasoned executive, especially those in health care leadership.
I Made the Best of It
I was born in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, during the 1934 depression. As blacks, we were the poorest of the poor. My mother was a single parent at the age of fifteen. I never knew my father; he was killed when I was three years old. After a bad marriage, and no life skills, my mother refused to pick cotton for the rest of her life. She moved to New York and left me with my aunt. I dropped out of school at the age of fifteen to become a teenage alcoholic. 1949: we left the farm and moved to Concord, NC, to a community called the "the black bottom", the name speaks for itself. 1951: I joined the U.S. Navy; I believe it saved my life. Making the best out of my life came down to accepting all parts of life: the good and the not so good. I had to stop looking for a scapegoat, that's for losers. Many times life isn't fair and Jesus is the best example. I have learned an important lesson, by helping others be their best, doors open for me to be my best. I made the best of it, that is success in itself.
After the Mathis Maxims
When he retired early at age 54 from his position as president and chief executive officer of Houston Methodist healthcare system, Larry Mathis wrote the book, The Mathis Maxims: Lessons in Leadership. It became a best seller in the healthcare industry and was frequently used to teach leadership of health care organizations. While he had planned his 27-year healthcare executive career carefully and in detail, he had not planned his retirement. This book is the story of that incredible quarter century of love, life, and travel that followed. Wisdom distilled from a Quarter Century of Love, Life, and Travel TRAVEL IS EDUCATION: When you roam the world as we have, you see the damnedest things. ...
