At this point, all the candidates who remain standing are qualified and considered strong potentials for the position, right? What motivates them to select one over the others? Often, it may come down to personality, “fit”, chemistry or some other intangible.

Helping Physicians Thrive: A Call to Action for the Healthcare C-Suite

By Tom Jackiewiczleadership, Physician Leadership, Tom Jackiewicz

What I didn’t discuss is the commitment those of us in the C-Suite must make to create an environment and culture where physicians can thrive.
