Why Leadership Development?
• We are a physician-lead organization with a strong, differentiating culture
• Competencies to lead in health care differ from clinical and investigative skills and can be learned
• The Cleveland Clinic Academy in the Education Institute (EI) is a forum for teaching and learning leadership and management skills
Why Clinical Executives?• Raffaella Sadun : HBS- Good hospital management correlated with better clinical and
financial performance- Those hospitals with higher percentage of degreed clinicians
as managers have the best management practices- There is significant variation in the quality of hospital
management practices within a country, which is much greater than the average differences across countries
- "If you look at the data, you'll see that improvement is possible”
• Amanda Goodall- Top US 100 hospitals: Cancer, DD, Heart & Heart Surgery- CEO’s classified as clinical-leaders and non-clinicians- America’s best hospitals disproportionately have clinicians as
leaders
