But we would argue that credibility may also be signaled to important external stakeholders - future employees, patients, the pharmaceutical industry, donors, and so on.

Toby Cosgrove, CEO of Cleveland Clinic, responded without hesitation, “credibility … peer-to-peer credibility.” In other words, when an outstanding physician heads a major hospital, it signals that they have “walked the walk,” and thus have earned credibility and insights into the needs of their fellow physicians.

Domain experts – “expert leaders” (like physicians in hospitals) - have been linked with better organizational performance in settings as diverse as universities, where scholar-leaders enhance the research output of their organizations, to basketball teams, where former All Star players turned coaches are disproportionately linked to NBA success, and in Formula One racing where former drivers excel as team leaders. Support for the idea that physician-leaders are advantaged in healthcare is consistent with observations from multiple other sectors.

The analysis showed that hospital quality scores are approximately 25% higher in physician-run hospitals than in manager-run hospitals. Might there be a general message here?Ī study published in 2011 examined CEOs in the top-100 best hospitals in USNWR in three key medical specialties: cancer, digestive disorders, and cardiovascular care. In fact, both institutions have been physician-led since their inception around a century ago. The CEOs of both - John Noseworthy and Delos “Toby” Cosgrove - are highly skilled physicians. The Mayo Clinic is America’s best hospital, according to the 2016 US News and World Report (USNWR) ranking. The emphasis on patient-centered care and efficiency in the delivery of clinical outcomes means that physicians are now being prepared for leadership. Doctors were once viewed as ill-prepared for leadership roles because their selection and training led them to become “heroic lone healers.” But this is changing. These challenges require extraordinary leaders. Healthcare has become extraordinarily complex - the balance of quality against cost, and of technology against humanity, are placing ever-increasing demands on clinicians.
