Andy Eby, caregiver and president at Bickford Senior Living, shares his journey to revolutionize America’s senior living and healthcare industry.
After leaving the NFL to pursue a new life path of meaning and fulfillment, Andy’s passion for serving others led him to Bickford Senior Living, where his experiences and leadership have played a pivotal role in the expansion across multiple states.
[05:26] “When I’m at my best, I’m leading with gut love and serving from the position of a caregiver who does whatever it takes.”
Initially skeptical about the EOS® process, Andy’s perception shifted as he delved deeper into its principles with the help of Jeanet Wade, EOS Implementer®. He eventually integrated its data-driven approach into all his entrepreneurial ventures. His exploration of the profound impact EOS has had in fostering high-performing leadership teams, sheds light on the urgency of proactive healthcare models for seniors, emphasizing the human aspect of the industry beyond mere profitability.
[25:30] “All organizations say they live and die by the people they hire. But when you’re caring for lives, and a staff member doesn’t show up on the night shift, the implications of choosing the wrong person is someone’s life.”
Andy’s narrative encapsulates a powerful evolution, intertwining personal growth, leadership development, and the impactful role of EOS in shaping the landscape of purpose-driven organizations.
