Renowned nursing leaders Tim Porter-O'Grady and Cathleen Wilson have created a book that defines the context and content of the role of the manager/leader in a transformed health care environment. With the latest research and thinking on management in 'point-of-service' organizations, this book shows practical applications of a new health care leadership paradigm with examples that span the continuum of care (hospital, ambulatory, subacute, rehab, long-term and home care). Performance tools, end-of-chapter questions, and an extensive, annotated bibliography will make this the health care leader's blueprint for adjusting roles and behaviors to maximize their effectiveness in today's radically changed environment.

Great futuristic leadership book for health care. It has a broad base and provides both the context for the many health care changes underway and suggests specific strategies to address them. A lot of creative and effective management techniques are outlined that are practical and challenge the traditional management notions. Well worth the price. I highly recommend it.

Good futuristic text for leaders. Very practical insights and useful to the manager and clinical leader. It can be used by any level of leadership and has real applicability in the current transformation in healthcare. It is rare to find both good insight and usefulness in the same text without a lot of jargon.
