How to Reinvigorate People - Thoughts on Community Health Center Governing Boards and Executive Directors

Within Community Health Centers there are people who hit a midlife crisis when they realize that they won't make it to the top, or discover that they are not first-rate.

The worst midlife crisis is that of physicians.
They have a severe midlife crisis. Basically, their work becomes boring. Just imagine seeing nothing for 30 years but people with a skin rash. They have a midlife crisis, and that's when they take to interfering in day-to-day operational management decisions and implementation.
