Today's healthcare leaders face constant challenge and change. Even as
they cope with a rapidly evolving environment, they also must overcome
existing obstacles inherent to running multifaceted operations. A solid
value system will anchor leaders as they navigate these daily hurdles.
This highly regarded book examines leadership through the lens of such
values. It provides a comprehensive overview of leadership principles
specific to the healthcare environment and explores both personal and
team values that drive appropriate and effective behavior. Case studies,
exercises, and self-assessment tools facilitate teaching, dialogue, and
self-reflection. A valuable resource for seasoned practitioners and
their leadership teams, the book is also used extensively in academic
courses in leadership.
