We are just beginning to understand how physician executives, individually and collectively, can best lead their
organizations
To this end, Witt/Kieffer* and Hogan Assessment Systems approached Providence Health &
Services and Swedish Health Services (“Providence,” headquartered in Renton, Wash) to conduct a study of the
system’s physician executives
The goal was to learn more about these executives through proven personality
and competency-based assessment methods
For Providence, it was a chance to identify and develop high-
potential physician leaders for its future
Other objectives shared by Witt/Kieffer, Hogan, and Providence included:
• Understanding the differences between good and great physician executives;
• Identifying differences between physician executives and other healthcare leaders to help these leaders
complement each other and work more effectively together;
• Developing tools and methodologies to help physician executives continue to grow as leaders
Key Findings
While the sample size of physician executives is modest, assessment experts from Witt/Kieffer and Hogan
were able to see several clear patterns in the results
1) High-performing physician leaders can be differentiated from lower performers by
characteristics such as resiliency, even temper, and a willingness to share successes
2) Strong physician leadership fosters patient loyalty in a health system
3) Physician and non-physician healthcare leaders operate differently and can learn
about, and learn from, each other by understanding competency differences
