Alan Kendricks at Cardiology Associates
By: Boris Groysberg, Colleen Kaftan and Wilfred S. McCalla, Jr.
Abstract
Alan Kendricks struggles to address many challenges facing him as a recently promoted medical director for Cardiology Associates at Southeastern Pennsylvania University Hospital. He must balance his time taking care of patients, running a practice, managing up, down, and laterally, managing stars with little formal authority, allocating resources fairly, developing his people, providing strategy and direction, building an organization, and spending time with his family. Offers insights into the dilemmas of a "producing manager," a person who is simultaneously responsible for producing and managing.
