Problem is growth in North America not the global market. Ever heard of implosion, it's coming to Denver. Core values of the company out the window, now they spread their talent thin and cheap at the facility level(that would be the clinical staff). KT CAN'T do what he did with DaVita in North America since 1999. If rapid global growth detracts from the largest market for dialysis, (USA) then KT is just running as fast as he can from the truth about ACA and dialysis reimbursement. Bottom line, KT forgot core values, his TEAMATES, and they do the clinical work and take less MONEY than NON corporate health care. That means USA TEAMATES and core values will disintegrate once the shift is completely to a global market. Ask how many bonuses clinical staff get for reaching metric goals. Those bonus programs were designed to get the clinical staff to meet these goals and prove DaVita was the provider of choice(a core value by the way). Those bonuses are nearly gone unless rolled out in unison by corporate. BUT the bonuses for middle management are big. The administrator has a plethora of bonus programs to choose from. Metric bonuses, employee retention bonuses, special retreats and training. Then there's the regional directors who get bonuses for herding their administrators into the right numbers. SOOO thanks KT for that phenomenol performance for 15 years, uhh your belief in your teamates and company core values WERE great. You won't find friends on the other side of the pond as you did here.
