The Best Leaders Know When to Get Out of the Way
This month's cover story in HealthLeaders magazine is an interesting one. Yes, I wrote it, but you should read it anyway. It's interesting because I was stunned by how much simplicity there is in running a super-complex organization like a hospital or health system. At least that's what my self-deprecating sources would like you to think. I think it's much more complicated than they let on.
That brief commentary was a "whole lot o' nuttin'." There are much more useful models of effective leadership to point readers to - e.g., Servant Leadership, or Brian Joiner's book "Fourth Generation Management." Even Juran's still timely "Managerial Breakthrough" will be much more helpful.
