Transforming Health Care: Action Strategies for Health Care Leaders

by: Daniel J. Anderson, John W. Moran, Baird K. Brightman, Barry S. Scheur,

Transforming Health Care offers a groundbreaking two-part model to help leaders find and achieve that delicate, dynamic balance between business performance and the mission of patient care, and then gain the momentum they need to take critical steps toward innovation, excellence, and effective strategic implementation.

The first part is a review of what works (and what doesn’t) in the drive to deliver excellence for both patients and performance. The second is a user’s guide to the specific behaviors that define and characterize a true health care leader now and in the future.
Readers will find chapters focusing on:

  • Market leadership and the dual importance of strategic clarity and decisive implementation
  • How to identify and correct misalignment between strategy and organizational design
  • Strategies for dramatically improving both clinical outcomes and business results
  • Models and action strategies for challenging people to be their best in a constantly changing workplaceTransforming Health Care offers both the strategies, systems and structures that work, as well as the key leadership actions and behaviors that propel effective implementation. Without this alignment of “what” and “how,” health care leaders will never achieve the results their patients or the marketplace expect or demand.

"This book provides solid practical guidance for those undertaking the difficult task of improving health care. The authors challenge both old and new norms, providing a clear road to new thinking." (Robert G. Norton) "Transforming Health Care really gets to the heart of the matter. Beyond theories and models, what leaders of hospitals around the world need is to align strategies with clinical and business results. The authors provide practical prescriptions for action strategies driven by the experience of working with hospitals and hospital leaders." (Ahmed Mohiuddin, MD, FACC) "Perhaps my most important role as hospital president is confronting the challenge of balancing what is best for our patients with what is best for our performance. Transforming Health Care defines the forces and focus needed to find that precious alignment, and facilitates the prescription for needed change by the nonphysician and physician leader alike." (Alan H. Robbins, MD) "Leading a health care organization requires skills and strategies that medical school, residency training, or clinical practice rarely develops. Transforming Health Care provides both diagnoses and prescriptions to fill this glaring gap in physician education." (Adrian E. Long, MD)

    Business Is a Large Target: The Business Owner/CEO’s Complete Guide to Maximizing Results (and Profits) from HR and Employee Benefits by: Jim Edholm

    Remember the Lone Ranger? The legendary Masked Man fought evil and stood up for the little guy. But he was generally hated by the authorities. He didn’t fit their mold or play their games. He couldn’t be turned, bribed or stopped … so they treated him as an outlaw. That’s the position of small business owners and executives today. No longer seen as providers of opportunity, creators of jobs, makers of wealth; instead they are seen – at least by most in Washington and many in state capitals – as greedy oppressors of the “working class.” Someone to be jealous of, untrusting of, careful about, watched with a wary eye. And as a business owner or executive, you can either pay attorneys to get you out of the trouble that bureaucrats are just waiting to spring on you – or you can empower your Human Resources person to be the defensive walls in your castle and avoid the trouble in the first place. That one person – generally underappreciated – is the first bulwark of defense against the hostile hoards of bureaucrats eager to plunder your wealth. Jim Edholm is President of BBI Benefits, and he’s been working with entrepreneurial employers for over 30 years. For many of those years, as a group benefits (health, dental, disability, etc.) advisor he primarily focused on helping employers reduce the cost of their benefit programs. But over the last decade he’s seen the ever-encroaching reach of government bureaucracies, and he’s coupled his benefits work with services that empower the employer to help reduce turnover, enhance productivity, and allow the small HR department to have the depth of HR and compliance resources that their much larger competitors have. In this book, Jim reveals his secrets of how that smaller employer (10-150 employees) can fight back and gain the power necessary to prosper.

    Leading the High Energy Culture: What the Best CEOs Do to Create an Atmosphere Where Employees Flourish by: David Casullo

    Praise for Leading the High-Energy Culture

    “If you’re looking for a step-by-step guide on how to become a high-energy leader, you’ve found it here!”
    –Tom Croston, Vice President/General Manager of Corporate Shared Services, Gap, Inc.

    “Whether its business, sports, or even parenting, successful leaders share one thing in common–high energy! David is right; it can be developed. I find it unique for someone to identify the truly key elements of leadership. David has done this in a way that fosters success in these endeavors as well as those of family, church, and community.”
    –Pat Williams, Senior Vice President, Orlando Magic, and author of Leadership Excellence

    “Jack Welch identified ‘energy’ as one of the critical characteristics he looked for in effective leaders but never talked about how they develop it. David Casullo’s book provides the road map for how to harness your own energy while energizing those around you. Every leader can increase their effectiveness by implementing the ideas he presents.”
    –Patrick M. Wright, William J. Conaty GE Professor of Strategic Human Resources in the ILR School (Industrial and Labor Relations), Cornell University

    Leaders and managers today are experiencing an “energy crisis” resulting from the failure to engage and inspire their people. Yet, a handful of leaders have found an endless supply of energy to fuel their organizations. They’re the ones who attract the top talent, the most loyal customers, and the public’s imagination. They’re leaders like Zappos’s Tony Hsieh and the late Steve Jobs, who’ve built cultures energized at every level to innovate, grow, and succeed. Leading the High-Energy Culture: What the Best CEOs Do to Create an Atmosphere Where Employees Flourish is the handbook to powering this kind of workplace with the energy that your workforce already possesses.

    A change this big starts at the top. David Casullo, a leadership authority and strategic consultant to businesses large and small, explains the steps for establishing an authentic leadership presence based on your powerful personal truths. Then he shares the secrets for how to communicate your vision in order to create a sense of purpose throughout your organization and beyond, thereby spreading excitement to consumers, investors, and the media. Using his own experience, research, and demonstrated results from the leadership development program that he developed while helping transform Raymour & Flanigan from a small regional company to a billion-dollar furniture retail giant, Casullo outlines the specific steps that let you discover and unlock the latent energy in your team.

    Casullo organizes these practices into 10 simple principles, each illustrated and reinforced with firsthand client interviews; real-world examples from businesses such as Ford, FedEx, and GE; and thought-provoking interactive exercises. These principles illuminate the path to creating real employee engagement by giving you an actionable model to:

    • Learn what matters to your organization and its people, and align your leadership strategy with these truths
    • Communicate clearly, with purpose and passion, to create a resonant message
    • Find the leaders in your workforce who give your organization a competitive advantage

    Leading the High-Energy Culture uses methods proven to generate results. Beyond the bottom line, however, it will reignite your own commitment and passion by giving you a fresh perspective on how to become an energized leader of a charged-up organization.
