Gain support of your staff to face new challenges

Article Abstract:

Physicians can use interpersonal skills to help implement change in their offices. For example, they should share run new ideas with their staff to find out whether their plans could have unforeseen consequences. In addition, physicians should try to honor their promises to staff members, and should be sure to appreciate the work of a file clerk just as they might a senior physician. Finally, they should make sure that the staff receives training to help it anticipate new developments in health care management.
