152. Dealing with Disruptive Physicians-the "Sorting Hat" Method to Build Your Action Plan

You have reached out to a disruptive doctor with the message, "this behavior must stop". How do you decide what to do next?

The doctor's reaction to your outreach contains the answer to that question*

As a physician leader, confronting disruptive behavior isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s crucial to team morale, patient safety, and legal risk. This episode tackles what to do after the initial intervention conversation, helping you navigate three common reactions that determine whether a doctor stays or goes.

You will discover:

👉🏼 The “Sorting Hat” method (think Harry Potter) to instantly identify which of three distinct follow-up strategies a doctor’s response calls for.

👉🏼 How to differentiate between a doctor who can grow through a Performance Improvement Plan and one who needs a firm, enforceable Behavior Modification contract.

👉🏼 Understand when and why immediate termination is not only justified but necessary to protect the integrity and safety of your team.

LISTEN NOW to learn the exact follow-up strategy that matches your doctor's response and take confident, effective action as a physician leader.
