Power Skills for Facilities Managers
“Power Skills” began as a 12-part series that has evolved into an ongoing conversation with Adam Bazer, MPD, the senior director of knowledge product development at the American Society for Health Care Engineering.
In his monthly articles, Bazer explores the nontechnical tools today’s health care facilities professionals need to succeed and excel in their career goals.
A version of this series also appears as a column in the print and digital editions of HFM.
