To date, little progress has been made in reducing or even stabilizing physician burnout. Incorporating the Humanistic Bundle scale into onboarding and annual reviews facilitates collection of valuable people-oriented data that complements traditional productivity-oriented data to identify and eliminate behaviors that limit teams in achieving the National Academy of Medicine’s recommendations to improve physician well-being and engagement.

Workplace gender bias typically takes one of two forms. First, women who act according to certain characteristics ascribed to women, such as warm, caring deferential, often are overlooked for leadership positions because they are perceived as not tough enough. On the other hand, women who are perceived as aggressive often are penalized. Recognizing these biases can do much to overcome them in today’s workplace.

In early 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic plunged health systems into unknown territory. Leaders were forced to wrestle with new and complex issues. Every day seemed to bring a litany of challenges requiring immediate response with uncertainty on all fronts. Despite this chaotic environment, the executive team at Houston Methodist Hospital system made the decision to become the first health system in the country to mandate that all employees receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This decision was emulated in various forms by hundreds of hospitals around the country. Through the lens of popular leadership management literature and historical examples, this article explores several critical practices the executive team embraced, leading to this monumental decision.

Our personal and professional satisfaction and fulfillment hinge on our being ourselves, which requires knowing how we as individuals function optimally. As physicians, we are highly skilled, highly educated, and trained to think for ourselves. Are we acting as authentic autonomous individuals in dealing with patients and other relationships at work and at home? Are we honoring and respecting others who are being themselves? Physician leaders should examine whether they are following their own inner authority in their professional and personal lives, or simply doing what they are told to do.

Imagine feeling hurt or betrayed by a colleague, patient, staff member, friend, or family member. Now, picture what life would be like if you could somehow free yourself of that hurt, pain, or discomfort. This article discusses the concept of forgiveness, how to find and give it, and how forgiveness applies to our medical practice.
