  • Inspire confidence
  • Show personal interest
  • Produce results and quality outcomes
  • Inspire, gather, and use employees’ ideas
  • Lead, rather than “boss”
  • Foster teamwork and a sense of community
  • Show kindness without being considered “easy”
  • Coach staff to reach their potential
  • Be a role model for balancing work and home
  • Delegate appropriately
  • Demonstrate self confidence without being “cocky”
  • Make hard decisions when needed


This week’s question and answer are excerpted from Assessing Your Medical Staff Office: Tools for Productivity by Beverly E. Pybus, CPMSM and Nancy Lian, CPCS, CPMSM.
