Helping Physicians Become Great Managers and Leaders

A guide for newly appointed and experienced physicians who find themselves in leadership roles (e.g., COO, Chief of Staff) in their hopspital or group practice where they lack the necessary depth of management experience for dealing with staff, budgets and other administrative issues. The book includes anecdotes from doctors who have struggled in their efforts to hire, direct, delegate work, discipline, terminate, compensate and reward. Each chapter gives practical tips for approaching these issues and offers tips on managing peer relationships, knowing when to call a lawyer, creating a positive work environment and modeling work/life balance. It is a quick read and ready reference.
