Overview

As the health care landscape becomes more complicated, the need for strong leadership increases at an ever-increasing pace. Physician and hospital leaders face more complex challenges as health care reform moves forward along with increasing competition and downward price pressures. In this continuously changing environment, the importance of strong physician leadership is accelerating at the same time that many physician leaders are retiring. With this rapid rate of change, questions on how to lead and where to innovate remain puzzlingly philosophically: What is the role of physician leadership in a time of looming uncertainty? Designed to help answer those questions and to help you perform the critical self-evaluation needed to identify your hidden beliefs and assumptions required to shift your world view thereby innovating your own leadership, this workbook is fundamentally about physician leadership, yet equally an account of applying innovation.
