Love respects the dignity of the individual. Heartpower is the strength of your corporation. Leadership is not selfish. It is caring for others, communicating with them, building consensus, and building teams to create value in organizations. Leadership Behavior Physician leadership behavior is key to a successful private practice.
Physician leaders perform in a glass bowl.
They are highly visible, and followers have high expectations of physician leaders. Physician leaders need to walk the talk. Yet physicians arrive late, do not return telephone calls, and engage in other behaviors that demonstrate to staff that the walk doesn't match the talk. Practicing what one preaches and demonstrating consistent, predictable behavior builds trust in followers and encourages them to follow the leader. If a practice has chosen to go in a direction that has some risk and inherent stress and physician leaders don't handle the stress well, neither will the staff.
