UNMC Culture

UNMC Brand (World-class)

UNMC leaders send signals to employees as to what matters.

As a leader, what is your personal brand/culture?

Don’t be too far out front of those you lead.

Benefits should be transparent before

new programs can be expected to be

embraced.

UNMC embraces big ideas now and

creativity rather than conflict-free status.

When opportunities arise we are ready and willing to seize them.

Opportunity seekers (initiators) vs

problem-solvers (responders)

UNMC is made up of great people.

It’s the great people that make the difference.

“UNMC is changing the culture in Nebraska.”
