This book offers a rare look into the professional lives of sixty-one eminent healthcare leaders as they relate the lessons they have learned from significant operational, strategic, relationship, or career challenges. The stories they share are as diverse as the contributors themselves. You will see how they have dealt with career decisions, change management, ethical issues, power struggles, embezzlement, organizational development, creating a new culture, mergers, integration, termination, and more.
Each contributor graciously took a personal risk by allowing us to take a snapshot of their thought processes, struggles, and frailties as they built successful careers as healthcare executives. They did so in the hope that their experiences might make a difference to colleagues and aspiring young leaders. We're convinced that their contributions will have a positive and lasting impact.
