Jeff SchneiderBrian Clyne

Academic Assembly 2012

Scenario 1

• Newly appointed PD

• Complaint about senior EM Faculty

• Never confronted previously

Leaders are Learners

It’s not the position that makes the leader, it’s the leader that makes the position.

Scenario 2

• Addition of senior resident MICU rotation

• Split between support and death threats

• Good strategic decision

Create forum for discussion

“Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions.”

Mark Twain

Scenario 3

• ACGME survey

• Blindsided

• Personal attack

See their perspective

“Truly great leaders spend as much time collecting and acting upon feedback as they do providing it.”

Alexander Lucia -- author

Scenario 4

• Struggling resident

• Close relationship

• Changing boundaries

Not their BFF
