When I think back to where I was as a department chair, I think the great thing about that is investing in your faculty and building the careers and talents and abilities of people in your department, almost to the point of making yourself completely irrelevant or redundant as a chair.
really carries over well into senior management, where you can develop and advance the other senior managers.
From the department chair perspective, if I were to give advice now or if I would have gotten advice when I was a chair, I would have said, have a lot more focus on the hospital.
Think beyond your department and really emphasize developing your people.
Because those people that you develop as leaders in your department are poised to become leaders in the hospital too.
And I think that's a mission that we have as department chairs.
Some people, I think, embrace it more than others do.
And we have to break down some of the parochialism that's existed in departments where
people are a little bit more focused on really what's the best thing for my department.
And interestingly, the strongest lesson I probably got out of it is that having some kind of term limit issue around chair terms is really important.
So I think that's another lesson is we need to refresh these leadership positions more regularly like other industries do and have a more clear sense of when's the beginning, when's the middle and when's the end and what's supposed to be accomplished during that time.
