DRG Articles on Leadership and Recruiting

Every month, DRG reviews best thinking and practices in professional staff recruitment and development in the nonprofit sector.

Our current article is What Can Corporate America Learn From Physicians: Its All In How You Treat People by M. Penny Levin, Ph.D. and Judith Lindenberger. The theme of this article is that "good bedside manner is good business" or as the subtitle indicates, "its all about how you treat people." The article reminds us that "people don't leave their jobs; they leave their bosses."

The authors, a clinical psychologist and a human resource consultant, outline 5 points that physicians have learned about relating to patients, that organizations should consider in managing staff. Their bottom line is that organizations need to "invest in ongoing training and coaching for managers to maintain professional relationships and practice good corporate bedside manners."
