This Harvard Business Review article informed the development and resulting content of our Physician Leader Onboarding initiative that our physician leaders will experience; its premise is two-fold:
- leaders, especially new leaders, are more successful, content, productive, and retained when their organization invests the time and resources to fully integrate them into the organization. The end results are the leader feels supported by and connected to one's organization; they are more knowledgeable (and invested) about their role and responsibilities, the organization's strategic plan, its people, culture, systems, policies, procedures, processes, nuances, etc.
- the above requires time: leader integration is not a 'one and done' event; it requires an investment of time (and resources) by the organization and the leader, ideally, of a minimum of one year
