In healthcare, strong leadership is crucial. Today’s volatile and ever-changing environment calls for a new set of leadership skills. As cost reduction, quality improvement, and management of scarce resources become increasingly important, healthcare leaders must know how to build a positive culture, manage change and conflict, establish trust, promote creativity and innovation, and empower every staff member in their organization to succeed.
Principles of Healthcare Leadership provides complete coverage of the topics most vital to the success of a healthcare leader. Beginning with foundational leadership theory, including a discussion of power and influence, the book then explores distinct leadership styles and skills, the importance of organizational culture building, and strategies for leading people in healthcare delivery.
Additional key topics include:
- Creativity and innovation
- Entrepreneurship
- Trust
- Change and conflict
- Leadership development and trends
- Team performance
This comprehensive resource also includes valuable instructor support materials such as a test bank, PowerPoint slides, and answers to end-of-chapter discussion questions to enhance the learning experience.
