Curing Physician Management [EPUB ebook] 

Curing Physician Management Why Physician Managers Fail Curing Physician Management: Why Physician Managers Fail is written for physicians who are in or taking on a management role in healthcare, and for anyone who is managing health care professionals.Much of what has been written on becoming a successful physician manager comes from the business and academic communities, and often takes a system-level approach, adapting elements from fields other than healthcare. Instead, the premise of this book is that much can be learned from understanding the personalities and values of those who aspire to leadership and management, what challenges might be unique to healthcare, and what strengths and weaknesses healthcare professionals might have as they enter management.The reader will come to understand that what makes a person a successful clinician may not be what is needed to succeed as a manager and leader, and may actually be detrimental, unless tempered by self-awareness and by the development of skills specific to a non-clinical role.
