Attendees at the May 29-31 Western Health Care Leadership Academy will have the opportunity to listen and ask questions of Dave Logan, best-selling author, USC Marshall School of Business faculty member and management consultant.

Professor Logan will share key insights from his new book, The Best Medicine: A Physician’s Guide to Effective Leadership, as well as concepts drawn from his New York Times bestseller Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization. Professor Logan received top marks for his interactive presentation at the 2012 Leadership Academy; his new specific focus on physician leadership is sure to be a hit.

This year, attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and interact with the program’s keynote speakers — New York Times bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell and Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Siddhartha Mukherjee, M.D., whose book is the subject of an upcoming Ken Burns documentary.
