Exploring the possibilities of a new healthcare. Let’s get real: Healthcare is broken. You know it. I know it. Every clinician who came into this field from a desire to care for others, knows this to be undeniably true. We feel it everyday when we enter our clinics, hospitals, and practices.

116: Is it Time to Fire that Employee? 14.02.2024

Have you recently thought that it’s time to fire an employee? It’s an often said cliche that, “The hardest thing about business is managing people.” And, especially when you’re in the throws of managing team members who aren’t meeting performance expectations, that saying rings true.
