title: Seven stars in the healthcare system: a lesson in trajectories.
abstract: Massive reorganization in the healthcare industry has created a new series of high-level, multi-talented managers. Many have risen from the ashes of change, taking new positions and shifting from positions with a single focus to managing complex administrative matrices. Seven who have been through the reorganization process comment on where they have come from and what they learned from their experience. Their distilled advice: take advantage of further schooling, OJT, hospital association seminars and workshops. Delegate; communicate; don't be afraid to admit you don't have all the technical knowledge at your fingertips. Above all, remember you are to direct the work, not do the work itself.
