Agree to Disagree: Frank Discussion, Attention to Cultural Fit Can Help Avoid Recruiting Errors
Abstract
Almost everyone in health care has heard this story: With great fanfare a hospital recruits an outside star to lead a clinical program, academic department, or division. Within months it is clear to almost everyone that the marriage is a failure. To better understand the question of why newly recruited leaders fail, I interviewed executives at several medical centers. Several key themes emerged and are discussed in this article. Many of the reasons for failure point to specific process changes that can be used to improve recruitment and prevent failure.
