Management Lessons from Mayo Clinic is akin to Donald Trump giving tact lessons Bill Clinton and John Edwards giving Monogamy Lessons and Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney giving effective War strategy lessons. Mayo Clinic is the New York Yankees of Medicine. Like the Yankees of this decade and the Soviets of the 1980’s, Mayo is its own ‘Evil Empire’ of the Healthcare business. Like the Soviets of the early 80’s and the bestow day NY Yankees, Mayo’s deep pockets and exorbitant spending make up for more than its share of Management mistakes. Its Assembly line heathcare develop and constant harping about expenses hardly makes it a needs of the patient come first healthcare organization. Like so many other businesses including the ‘evil’ Insurance Companies, it is all about the bottom line at Mayo. Many former Physicians and staff have said so. When you have a management and choice making system that closely, if not identically, resembles Washington DC, you are if for distress. Layer after layer of bureaucracy, committees, sub-committees, focus groups, polarizing board members, and the like are firmly embeded in the Mayo Culture. As Washington DC is kaput, so is the Mayo Management and choice making develop. I’m not saying you should not read this book, I reckon you should read it. If I am a young Program Director, Manager, Administrator, Nurse Manager, Supervisor, Department Head, etc. I would read this book and then immediately read ‘Moneyball’ by Michael Lewis, and Rule #1 Investing by Phil Towne. I would look at the Mayo way and do just the opposite whenever and wherever I may possibly. Many if not all Healthcare Institutions can’t compete with Mayo’s deep pockets, so if you do business and run your ship like they do, you are doomed. There are inefficiencies in any market, you just have to work hard to find them and take advantage when you do. Look for ways that the conventional wisdom is incorrect and do the opposite. The two books mentioned above will help you do this. Take a Paul Volcker approach to your healthcare management decisions. Don’t get me incorrect, I’m not saying Mayo Clinic has terrible healthcare providers, terrible technology, terrible equipment, terrible people, etc. I’m saying it is a bogged down, social engineering, bueracratic nightmare. Mayo better hope there is not a Billy Beane or Phil Towne of healthcare lurking on the horizon in another competing organization. If there is, they better adapt quickly or they will be in distress, huge distress.
