Description
The case is about the career of Dr. Valentín Fuster in his triple role as physician, researcher and director of the cardiology institute at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital. One of the world's top figures in cardiology, he runs a team of 800 professionals. For him, it is not enough to select the right people when trying to build a top-level team: it is necessary to make them grow. Being a mentor is one of his passions and he believes in horizontal systems, with hierarchical systems grounded in trust rather than power.
