Nick McCormick’s comment left on George Ambler’s Leaders vs. Managers….. Are they really different? did a great job summing up my feelings on this perpetual controversy.

US Healthcare leadership oxymoron 11: PS

Post from Leadership Turn Image credit: dimshikSorry, I forgot to mention this in the previous post.
I’ve recorded a lot of shows over the years and when I want some company for what I’m doing I pop one in my VCR.

US Healthcare leadership oxymoron 11: a question for you

Post from Leadership Turn Image credit: arte_ram
As most of you know I’ve been writing a series on healthcare, linking to articles detailing the actions of doctors/healthcare professionals, insurance companies and financial institutions. What’s ahppening as opposed to political retoric of what should happen.
But last night I got to thinking.
The stuff the artilces describe isn’t […]

What leaders DON’T: fool around

Good grief, will the guys ever learn to keep their pants zipped?
Eliot Sptizer is just the latest in a long line political and business biggies to be ousted over sex actions of one kind or another.
I’m also wondering how many other patrons of this current sting will be outed. If he’s the only name made […]

US Healthcare leadership: oxymoron 8 - you pay for their mistakes

Healthcare providers’ attitudes towards money often make my blood boil. It’s not just insurance and drug companies and hospitals, but the financial institutions that buy the debt of the un/under insured and then charge exorbitant interest rates on it.

Who in the world is Amy S. Quinn?

I received and email from Amy S. Quinn suggesting that I would be interested in a posting about Wal-Mart’s in-store clinics—I wasn’t. I assumed she was a flack of some kind and that she sent it because I’ve written several not very complimentary posts Wal-Mart.Here’s the email
Hi Miki,

US Healthcare leadership—an oxymoron (part 5)

The difficulty of getting an appointment to see your doctor (wait time) is the bogyman thrown up to defeat universal healthcare, but the statistics don’t back that up. According a Business Week article citing a study by the Commonwealth Fund,“If you find a suspicious-looking mole and want to see a dermatologist, you can expect an […]
