What Readers Are Saying

"Anyone who reads the book will come away with a better sense of themselves and where they stand on the leadership continuum. . . . Whether you are a CEO or starting out in healthcare administration, this is a "must" for your library and regular reference!"

—Michael Covert, FACHE President and CEO, Sarasota Memorial Healthcare System

"Today more than ever, physicians find themselves working in groups: clinically and group practices; administratively with health systems, payors, or as consultants; and finally in policy and management. [This book] is a primer that correctly avers personal values to be the bedrock of success as one progresses from group member to leader. A personal value system consistent with the culture of the organization is absolutely necessary for personal success. Physicians would do well to understand and heed the information put forth by Carson Dye."
