Abstract
Organizational culture is underleveraged in most organizations, including healthcare. During their recruitment, aspiring physician leaders should note the culture and determine whether it is a good fit with their own values. Upon arrival, they should model their values and desired behaviors in an effort to modify or re-build what they deem an unhealthy culture. This involves observations of behavior and feedback loops over time.
