Check out this great interview published yesterday by the NY Times. Found in the weekly "Corner Office" section, the article features Tachi Yamada, M.D., current president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Health Program. Dr. Yamada discusses his experience managing a variety of organizations including a small lab, a large department of medicine, an even larger R&D firm, and his current team at the Gates Foundation.
A few notable topics include: the importance of delegation, staying in touch with the organization, mentors, giving employees undivided attention, working with "what you have" and bringing out the best in people, the ability to endure change, humor, emotional intelligence, and giving feedback.
He is a true model and a rare example of successful health care leadership.
