The Effects of Transformation

In Transforming Healthcare Organizations, the authors assert that only leaders who are willing to pursue innovation and creativity can effect a transformation--and they describe the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for success. This important study presents healthcare executives with practical, step-by-step guidance on recognizing the need for change, developing a vision for the future based on working models of success, and gaining the support of others in realizing this vision.
