TAKING THE LEAD: A GUIDE FOR EMERGING LEADERS IN
ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTERS

As large, often bureaucratic, multi-mission organizations with competing priorities, academic medical centers represent not only an important form of organization, but a unique form as well. For academic medical centers to succeed and fulfill their highest value to society, they need to educate not only the next generation of health care providers, but the next generation of leaders to guide these unique, complex, and in many ways “peculiar” organizations. This book was written with this goal in mind – to serve as a resource for individuals in academic medical centers who are interested in pursuing a leadership role or are within the first few years of assuming that role (the “emerging” leader).
