“Leadership in healthcare organizations is the essential element of our success. This book clearly summarizes how to identify, assess, develop, and place leaders and provides tools to measure their success and effectiveness. Through the implementation of these concepts, our industry can continue to attract and retain the capable professionals who will demonstrate that leadership is the critical ingredient in responding to challenges and opportunities.”–Christopher J. Durovich, FACHE, Chief Executive Officer, Children’s Medical Center, Dallas"When improving processes and quality, leadership is the most critical factor. Growing Leaders in Healthcare makes a compelling case for leadership development and, more importantly, spells out a process for developing internal leaders who embody and continue your hospital's values instead of just hiring a new leader from the outside."
