Episode Synopsis

In today’s encore episode, I am sharing an excerpt from an earlier episode discussing mythsabout physician leadership and dispelling those myths with evidence. MYTH:  a widely held but false belief or idea Time to bust some of the myths and stereotypes about physicians being arrogant, un-herdablecats and lone wolves who don't understand teamwork, business or finances.Stereotype… #1  Doctors are lone wolves or cowboys who can’t get along on a team  #2  Physicians have a command and control decision-making style  #3  Physicians are lousy at managing their money #4  Docs are greedy and are primarily motivated by money #5  Physicians are not suited to lead and not capable of running the business Find out why the stereotypes are not only wrong but are harmful to physicians, staff andpatients.  Stereotypes make leadership roles look unappealing to physicians, allowadministrators to wave off concerns by physicians, permit apathy about the need for vigilantrecruiting and selection, and permit avoidance by administrators of tough behavioral issues.SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER: https://bit.ly/LicensedToLeadSignup
