Ron Rittenmeyer, Tenet Healthcare's executive chairman and CEO, made the Dallas Business Journal's list of 2019 Most Admired CEOs in North Texas.
More than 5,100 readers voted to select the 18 executives they admire the most. During an awards ceremony on Sept. 25, Mr. Rittenmeyer shared advice he'd give to his younger self or someone else in his field.
Five tips from Mr. Rittenmeyer:
1. Work with the best team you can find, then as a leader, build a team that's even better.
2. Don't wait on great opportunities.
3. Be resilient, inquisitive and engaged — participation and observation won't cut it.
4. Find solutions; other peoples' lives depend on your decisions.
5. Don't take yourself too seriously as a leader.
