Catherine Robinson-Walker knows what great leaders are. She nails it when it comes to the seductions of leadership. I have had the pleasure of hearing her speak at ACNL and she is a true inspiration.

It's Time to Spark Passion

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2014

If you are new to healthcare – it is never too early to start charting your course. If you are a seasoned leader - you still have room to learn and refresh. This is where the new book, Leading Valiantly in Healthcare: Four Steps to Sustainable Success, by Catherine Robinson-Walker is going to make a difference.

With so many – and continual - changes in healthcare regulations and technologies, it is easy these days to be caught up in the “bottom line” mode. Robinson-Walker’s book gives you the tools and references to spark that passion and courage that is so desired by today’s staff, patients, and customers. She pulls from her years of experiences and interviews to show you how to “adjust our leadership strategies based on new circumstances, additional information, and new learning” in order to lead with valor.

Robinson-Walker’s six leadership seductions and cycle of leadership valor combine to help you to pause and look at the various challenges you may find yourself in and to increase your self-awareness - thus making better quality decisions. In part, leading with valor means responding to challenges thoughtfully, individually, and fully. In leadership – especially in healthcare - there are no one-size-fits-all decisions. It really requires an open heart and mind.

This book will help you to become a more confident and courageous leader, fostering integrity, self-control, and character. If you are motivated to sharpen your skills and open to trying new approaches (stepping out of your comfort zone), this book is the guide that you will want to read, practice, and learn from. It just may make the difference that you have been looking for.

An essential read...

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2013

An essential read for leaders wanting to "thrive" in their position and not just "survive". I have personally worked with Catherine for many years in various venues. Her ability to combine honest compassion through coaching the development of others is exemplar and achievement driven. Catherine's style of process works with specific roles and behavioral habits that result in eliminating the "long-haul feeling of leadership" through restoring the body's healing, growth progressions and sustained effectiveness. I would highly recommend senior leadership to provide a copy for their leaders with the goal to process its contents as a team!

Becoming a valiant leader, learning as valiant leadership is applied, implementing my valiant leadership

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014

Catherine Robinson-Walker starts the book by helping us to learn what valiant leadership is within ourselves. This is a bold, well-rounded leadership that must be fully engaged internally before it can be easily applied to others. The mid-section of the book has the best and most realistic vignettes of situations we encounter in everyday work. The vignettes represent a wealth of learning if you take your time and digest them fully. The end of the book might be too short, it's where we see about putting the system to work

As an FYI, this book is not only of value in healthcare. Apply it everywhere.

Practical and inspiring

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2014

Although nursing is a noble profession, there needs to be more valiant leaders to help navigate the chaotic, quickly changing world of healthcare. Catherine provides readers with three things: how to realize your potential as a leader, what tools you can use to be valiant in your daily practice, and most importantly, how to recognize the "seductions" that could sabotage your aspirations. Catherine's wisdom as a coach shines through the book. I will keep it close by to flip through whenever I need inspiration to step up and lead with both strength and grace.

Powerful Coaching Experience in Book Form

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2013

Accessible, engaging, realistic, memorable and ultimately inspirational, Leading Valiantly in Healthcare delivers a powerful coaching experience in book form. I have worked with Cathy, the author, for several years and witnessed how she transformed her coaching practice into a compelling model that works on the ground. An expert story teller, Cathy uses well-crafted vignettes to let us know that we're not alone in succumbing to "leadership seductions" (her term) that derail us from being the best leaders we can be. She also gives us role models who embody the courageous, focused, integrity-based kind of leadership she sees as valiant. In every corner of the book there are questions that invite us to reflect on our own unique form of valor. But even if you don't take the time to answer those questions, you'll come away with a new understanding of how you can be both more valiant AND less stressed as a leader. I highly recommend this book for leaders who want to bring forth the best of themselves at work without working more and more hours.

Good book!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014

"Leading Valiantly in Healthcare" by Catherine Robinson-Walker has an intentional leaning toward those in the healing profession. But - don't let that stop you from picking up this valuable book if you have no interest in that profession. Robinson-Walker is a skilled writer and practitioner; her words are practical. I love and appreciate how the book unfolds in short sections that are easy for a non-healthcare worker, such as me, to understand. The book is meaningful and any student of leadership will benefit from it.
