Top Clues Reveal the Victim Mentality

2020-03-02T09:10:12-06:00

Did I reveal the victim mentality in myself in a recent blog post? I think I did. In an article for my blog a few months ago, what I wrote was perceived as critical of certain physician leaders. I linked to examples of their writing that were popular with physician readers. They pertained to issues that physicians find very intrusive, that promote burnout, and often interfere with the practice of medicine.  In quoting their articles, I made it look [...]

Not All Leadership Dyads Are Created Equal

2017-09-04T07:54:58-05:00

Leadership Dyads have been touted as the solution to the challenge of executing complex initiatives in hospitals and health systems.

What Is Dyad Leadership? As described in a 2015 Advisory Board Article, dyad leadership is “…a [...]

My Greatest Shortcoming as a Senior Hospital Leader

2017-07-20T08:39:22-05:00

As I think back to my early experiences as a hospital executive, I recall a fairly steep learning curve. The AAPL management courses I attended helped. But it wasn't until I saw the principles taught in those courses applied in the real world that they started to sink in. And that's also when I began to see my greatest shortcoming as a leader. Most financial, human resource and management concepts eventually became second-hand. With mentoring and experience, I became comfortable [...]

But the type and size of physician recruiting incentives have been more variable.
