Hard Jobs

A quote attributed to Peter Drucker, one of the great management gurus:
  1. “The four hardest jobs in America (not necessarily in order) are: President of the United States, a university president, a hospital CEO, and a pastor.”
  2. “Health care is the most difficult, chaotic, and complex industry to manage today.”
  3. “The hospital is altogether the most complex human organization ever devised.” 
I find that hard to believe, but on mature reflection, maybe not.
