Please check out this new post I have written for Athenahealth's Leadership Forum. It's called "Advocating through Inquiry" and relates some intriguing ideas from Gerald Hickson and his colleagues from Vanderbilt. St. Francis makes an appearance, too.

I think it is worth trying, since every doctor I was ever involved with disciplining (via our Med Exec committee) was defensive and resisted to the max. Just another challenge to their authority and they reacted accordingly. A lot of it has to do with zero tolerance by their M.D. peers, too - immediate feedback, right at the moment of offense. It can be quiet but firm. I have seen many peers clear their throats and look away, silent.

I love it. Key points it touches on are the challenges in dealing with a problem behaviour in a person who is also good at many things and a friend.
Also see the recent article regarding the effectiveness of using peer messengers to promote accountability.
