...much can be done without building anew, and although support at the executive level is crucial, the impetus for change can come from any member of the staff. At the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula in Calif., for instance, Joy Colangelo, an occupational therapist, helped launch the "Green Team" about six months ago. The team's first task was to do a "waste audit" in order to tally unnecessary expenditures, says Colangelo. She found that the hospital's heart department was churning out 20 pages of patient-identification labels per patient, but using only...
Beyond cutting down waste, says Colangelo, the hospital also attempts to wield the "power of aesthetics to heal," with musical performances, a koi pond filled with 70 koi in the atrium, a "healing garden" and a nursing floor that wraps around a waterfall and patio. All patient rooms also have large windows that provide views of nature and lots of natural light - which cuts electricity costs and is associated with high staff morale and better patient outcomes.

During the Team USA meltdown in Athens, every weekend warrior with a backyard jump shot said, " Put me on the team! " And these guys had a point; more than anything, the U.S. needed a stand-still shooter, a guy whose sole role was to linger...
...doesn't do anything else, really, but shoot threes, but that's OK. We could use him. The Americans did not bring a single top-30 three-point shooter in Japan, which is simply inexcusable. And Krzyzewski, who is not afraid to lecture you on leadership, should have told Colangelo that...
