Collective Management

This book offers a practical reflection on collective leadership in Cuban family medicine, based on years of experience leading polyclinics and healthcare teams. The author proposes a leadership model in which "people"-patients, healthcare workers, and the community-are at the center of the process, moving beyond mere administrative efficiency to humanize healthcare management. Across eight chapters, he explores essential skills such as empathy, creativity, teamwork, and the critical use of technology, illustrating each topic with anecdotes from clinical practice, international medical missions, and hemodialysis units. He rejects bureaucracy as an obstacle to the provider-patient relationship and proposes applicable ethical principles: responsibility, perseverance, and trust in the potential for collective growth. Written with the honesty of someone who has made mistakes and learned from them, this book invites administrators, healthcare professionals, and students to rethink leadership as a daily practice of mutual care, where success is measured by the dignity with which we care for those who trust us.
