The Healthcare Leader’s Guide to Actions, Awareness, and Perception, Third Edition
Healthcare leaders are highly visible and constantly watched—often very closely. Perception is often more important than reality, and career success may ultimately hinge on an individual’s awareness of how they are perceived and their ability to act consistently in a manner befitting their position.
Now in its third edition, The Healthcare Leader’s Guide to Actions, Awareness, and Perception highlights the “sense of the appropriate”—an essential leadership trait that applies to behavior, character, courtesy, ethics, professionalism and respect. Leaders need a special skill set for building and maintaining positive relationships with a variety of individuals and groups, and they must be constantly aware of the risk of missteps and derailment.
Leaders at every level—from newcomers to experienced executives—will find guidance in this book. It examines key leadership principles, illustrates core concepts with stories and examples, and sets forth a framework of protocols tailored to specific interactions and situations.
