Physician Leadership Behaviors and Strategies: Insights to Integrate and Prioritize Faculty Well-being

Abstract

Career sustainability and adequate well-being initiatives continue to be a challenge in today’s community hospitals and academic medical centers. By becoming familiar with the concept of wellness-centered organizational culture, physician leaders will be better able to retain healthcare staff, motivate aspiring physicians, and encourage their professional fulfillment. Several frameworks around organizational wellness, efficiency of clinical systems and practice, and leadership behaviors provide the foundation for recommendations to support current and future physicians. Insights offer practical strategies and prompts to implement wellness programming and physician integration into a healthy and more efficient work environment.
