Few clues in the early lives of Modern Healthcare's 1990 Up & Comers indicate that they were destined to become young leaders of the healthcare industry. A diverse group, they started out in strikingly different directions. Gary Shorb trained as an engineer and aspired to be an admiral in the Navy. Deborah Johnson studied law but had dreams of becoming a professional musician. Larry Hough started out as a certified public accountant. Somewhere along the line, they were attracted to the healthcare profession. Despite their differences, they have much in common. A psychological survey conducted for the magazine by Michael Leibman of Caliper Human Strategies indicates they are strong motivators who set the tone for their organizations by soliciting the views of their staffs and structuring the agenda. As a group, they are bright, shrewd and goal-oriented. They also fully understand their role. As David Jimenez, president of Hialeah (Fla.) Hospital, said, "Every day you've got to go out there and demonstrate that you're capable of holding down the job, that you deserve to be the leader." These 12 executives, all 40 or younger, were chosen from more than 50 candidates suggested by Modern Healthcare's editorial staff and readers. They represent many facets of the industry and come from every part of the country. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, they are well positioned to play a leadership role in meeting the challenges of providing high-quality and cost-efficient patient care.
现代医疗保健公司1990年的“明日之星”在早年几乎没有迹象表明他们注定会成为医疗行业的年轻领导者。他们是一个多元化的群体，起步方向截然不同。加里·肖布曾接受工程师培训，渴望成为海军上将。黛博拉·约翰逊学习法律，但梦想成为一名职业音乐家。拉里·霍夫最初是一名注册会计师。在这个过程中的某个时候，他们被医疗行业所吸引。尽管他们各不相同，但有很多共同之处。卡利珀人力资源策略公司的迈克尔·莱布曼为该杂志进行的一项心理调查表明，他们是强大的激励者，通过征求员工意见和制定议程来为组织定下基调。作为一个群体，他们聪明、精明且目标明确。他们也完全明白自己的角色。正如佛罗里达州海厄利亚医院院长大卫·希门尼斯所说：“每天你都得走出去，证明你有能力胜任这份工作，证明你值得成为领导者。”这12位高管年龄均在40岁及以下，他们是从现代医疗保健公司编辑人员和读者推荐的50多名候选人中挑选出来的。他们代表了该行业的许多方面，来自全国各地。随着医疗行业不断发展，他们很有能力在应对提供高质量、低成本患者护理的挑战方面发挥领导作用。
