Abstract:
The laboratory director needs numerous technical and management skills to perform effectively. However, the study of management is often neglected in residency training programs. R.T. Pascale and A.G. Athos, in the Art of Japanese Management, offer seven parameters that can be used to evaluate the management of an organization. Here, the author discusses these corporate concepts as they relate to the laboratory.
