"This book is a must read for those who are desirous of looking at themselves and taking that first step to truly enhance their leadership performance. Ten years later, Carson's message is as fresh and important as when he first penned this book. It is still all about how we interconnect with each other on behalf of those we serve to make their lives better."

Michael H. Covert, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer, Palomar Pomerado Health, San Diego, California, from the Foreword

"Leadership in Healthcare: Essential Values and Skills demonstrates how successful leadership is clearly anchored in well-understood values and encourages the reader to maximize leadership capabilities by developing and practicing a suitable personal value system. Carson Dye is to be applauded for writing and updating this eminently useful book on what is inarguably the most critical competency needed by healthcare leaders today."

Stephen J. O'Connor, PhD, FACHE, Professor, Dept. of Health Services Administration, School of Health Professions, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, from the Foreword
