Dyad Leadership and Clinical Integration: Driving Change, Aligning Strategies
Sometimes, real leadership is about balance. This book breaks new ground in dyad leadership, giving you the tools you need now to establish and sustain exceptional partnerships between physicians and administrators.
You will learn practical strategies based on a proven integrated framework. With this method as a starting point, dyad leaders can group and differentiate roles and competencies to increase quality of care, cut costs and improve the patient experience.

The Healthcare Leader’s Guide to Actions, Awareness, and Perception, Third Edition
As a leader in healthcare, you are highly visible and constantly watched. Perception is often more important than reality, and career success may ultimately hinge on your awareness of how you are perceived and your ability to act consistently in a manner befitting your position.
This book 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.
Topics covered in this book include professional image and reputation; ethical decision-making; ethnic, gender and generational diversity; self-awareness; and derailment.
Effective leaders benefit from heightened self-awareness. Contribute to your own professional success by letting this book be a “mirror” to your leadership style and refine your executive etiquette.
Essential Operational Components for High-Performing Healthcare Enterprises
The move toward value-based care is happening at an unprecedented rate and requires healthcare enterprises to build delivery models that focus on clinical and business outcomes, not on volume. This shift requires a new infrastructure that supports the digitization, standardization, commoditization and globalization of the healthcare industry.
This book highlights the operational building blocks necessary to engage, align and transform healthcare organizations into integrated delivery systems capable of delivering population healthcare outcomes in new ways. It defines the fundamental operational components for achieving success in a value-based world, including collaborative leadership, governance competencies, dynamic strategic planning and contracting, and rapidly evolving clinical and executive roles.
