There are good leaders, then there are exceptional leaders. Exceptional
leaders use competencies--a set of professional and personal skills,
knowledge, values, and traits that guide a leader's performance. In an
era of change and uncertainty in healthcare, it is crucial that leaders
learn not only how to be exceptional, but also what makes an exceptional
leader. In this second edition of their best-selling book, the authors
detail 16 competencies grouped in four cornerstone categories:
Well-Cultivated Self-Awareness, Compelling Vision, A Real Way With
People, and Masterful Execution. Each of the 16 competencies is explored
in its own chapter to define the competency, provide examples and
advice, and explain the common skill deficits that prevent its mastery.
New to this edition: A feature case study at the beginning of the book
and a supportive vignette within each competency chapter to provide
practical and real-world application to each competency Two minicases
with discussion questions at the end of each competency chapter for
further consideration and self-reflection Six new chapters that
demonstrate how to apply the book's concepts at both the individual and
organizational levels A new chapter on physician leadership that
incorporates findings from interviews with industry leaders and provides
a helpful road map for those transitioning into the physician executive
role
Through a clear and focused approach based on current research, this
book provides a solid understanding of the tools needed by great
leaders. Included in this book is a self-development plan and interview
questions to apply the knowledge learned.
