{"product_id":"9781503569508","title":"FOUNDERS","description":"Founders is about the development of a new College of Medicine and Teaching Hospital, located 90 miles from the parent University campus.  The goal was to examine the role of senior leaders, department chairs, division chiefs, senior  faculty and administrators in this venture with a focus on their vision and goals  and, upon reflection, their achievements. The book discusses the role of the “founders” in assessing leadership (deans, chairs, chiefs), recruitment of faculty (criteria, charge, interaction), and funding (no state funding and very limited university funds). These are issues being  faced by other institutions (existing, new, expanding).  Decisions made in each of these areas, proactive or by default, can have significant impact on the  overall teaching, patient care, and research missions.  It was interesting that  different individuals viewed the same events with totally different viewpoints  of what really happened; underscoring the importance of communication to  encourage a common core of intent and outcome.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131295613168,"sku":"9781503569508","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503569508_p0.jpg?v=1763710301","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503569508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
