# RESET in Practice

May 5, 2016 *•* [Joe Mechlinski](https://www.shiftthework.com/blog/author/joe-mechlinski)

Page 22 of my book **[Grow Regardless](https://www.shiftthework.com/shift-learning-lab/grow-regardless/)**marks the beginning of my interview with [COLA](http://cola.org/)CEO, [Doug Beigel](http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=13552567&locale=en_US&trk=tyah). This interview shows how the process of RESET (one of the main steps necessary to grow regardless) can be applied in real life work situations.

COLA's story is a shining example of how the process of RESET should work when implemented correctly. Without Doug’s steady leadership and dedication to RESET, COLA would not be what it is today—a company centered on the mission to increase patient safety and enhance the quality of healthcare in a time of diminished resources and industry volatility. And without the support of Doug and his team at COLA, I would not be where I am today—author of a *New York Times* bestselling business book!

Thank you to Doug and everyone at COLA who believed in me and my team  
along the way!
