| Publisher Description: A crucial first step in equipping health professionals to make greater leadership contributions is to introduce them to the principles of effective leadership. What do leaders do? How do they do it? What features distinguish those who excel at leadership from those who fare poorly as leaders? How could health professions educational programs better prepare future health professionals to play a leadership role? How could continuing education programs in the health professions provide more education and support in leadership for practicing health professionals? Given that healthcare in the US has become a $2 trillion industry, there is a surprising dearth of books addressing these crucial questions. This book will seize this opportunity by opening up the fascinating world of leadership to health professionals. Composed of insightful and thought-provoking essays on the crucial facets of leadership, it will be tailored to the needs of several constituencies, including health professionsa (TM) educators who wish to offer courses on leadership; health professionsa (TM) organizations who wish to encourage their members to become more active as leaders; and individual health professionals who wish to embrace leadership in their own lives. |
