title: Searching for some answers. Mount Sinai's lawsuit against recruiter Heidrick steps into current debate on shortage of qualified replacement executives.
abstract: Heidrick & Struggles, the nation's largest executive recruiting firm and a staunch champion of the National Center for Healthcare Leadership, is fighting a lawsuit that may test the premise that the healthcare industry lacks future leaders. As far as the placement business goes, Michael Doody, left, a senior vice president at search firm Witt/Kieffer, is confident a hospital's lawsuit alleging Heidrick fell down on the job won't cause irreparable damage.
