This book is a practical, evidence-based guide to seven key leadership disciplines that will help anyone working in healthcare to pursue brighter futures.
Andrew Garman looks at both the major changes facing healthcare organizations and the leadership competencies required to successfully meet those challenges. He offers a glimpse into our more distant future and how our health systems-and the demands of leaders-could evolve. He also explains how people become more effective leaders over time and what the research has to say about what works best in making this happen.
Garman introduces the seven primary disciplines associated with effective leadership: values, health system literacy, self-development, relations, execution, boundary-spanning, and transformation. Each discipline is rooted in research on leadership effectiveness, including studies conducted with the National Center for Healthcare Leadership. He also provides additional tools and resources to help people on their leadership journey.
