Abstract

Since 1979, Philip B. Crosby, Founder and Chairman of Philip Crosby Associates, Winter Park, Fla., has been applying the quality principles that he developed and applied at ITT for a variety of clients. About 900 firms, 200 of them in the Fortune 500, have gone through the process that he recommends for the development of a corporate attitude of quality. Earlier this year, Physician Executive interviewed Mr. Crosby. We talked about his general approach to issues of quality in products and services, and began to make the connection between his quality theories and their application in the health care industry.

[Leadership and change processes in hospitals].

BACKGROUND: Successful change processes in hospitals require leaders with strong competence and personal suitability, who can develop resource efficient and creative solutions. We have investigated how division leaders handle change processes and solve problems that arise in cross-disciplinary meeting activities. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight division leaders at two hospitals in the same region of Norway have gone through in-depth interviews about change leadership. RESULTS AND INTERPRETATIONS: Some of the division leaders were familiar with facilitating change processes and used a range of methods and tools, but the majority had limited insight into which methods would be most appropriate in the various phases of a change process. They signalised that the most difficult challenge was to handle interactions dominated by suspicion, negative interpretation, assumptions and hidden agendas. Such interplays were the most limiting factor in the development of a common understanding of demands, goals and commitment to change processes across departments and units.
