Аннотация

The hospital sector reflects a microcosm of the healthcare crisis in the United States; as hospital care costs increase, so does the financial failure rate of hospitals. This dissertation examines the relationship between hospital CEO personal strengths and their success, which for this study was defined as controlling the use of labor. This study covered 2 hospital systems with 14 hospital CEOs participating and providing access to their Solucient database. This study used Clifton StrengthsFinder 2.0 as a survey instrument with those CEOs who participated in the study. The results of the 177 paired question survey gave each CEO his or her top 5 strengths.
