Behind every successful hospital visit is a network of middle managers who made it possible. But their responsibilities often overlap with others in the organization, which makes them prime targets for cuts during times of austerity.
But for Prof. Giovanni Radelli and Andrea D’addario, job overlap can be a feature rather than a bug. This is what we saw in a recent study by Radaelli and his co-authors, which documents the experiences of quality managers across 12 Italian hospitals.
What do we lose when we reduce middle management? What function do they serve in the delivery of care? How does job overlap actually help them better contribute to the organization?
In this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, we explore all of these questions and more.
Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.
Professor Giovanni Radaelli is an Assistant Professor (Reader) at the Warwick School of Business. Andrea D’addario is a McGill alumna and health leadership consultant in Canada’s rural North.
