Leadership for Health Professionals: Theory, Skills, and Applications
Author/s: Gerald (Jerry) R. Ledlow, Michele Bosworth, Thomas MaryonOVERVIEW
Leadership for Health Professionals: Theory, Skills, and Applications, Fourth Edition is the first textbook of its kind to apply classical knowledge of leadership theory and time-honored best practices of industry leaders to a health organization context. This comprehensive and well-organized text is grounded in real-world applications of theoretical concepts, and focuses on practical examples of leadership in actual healthcare scenarios. Themes such as organizational culture, cultural competency, ethical frameworks and moral practice, scientific methodology, and leader competencies are woven through the entire text.
The authors’ perspective focuses on the most pertinent leadership content, theories, models, principles, and strategies that produce results in the health industry. The authors-now with the updated fourth edition and new coauthors who bring physician practice, nursing practice, and executive health insurance practice into the text-have put many of these theories and models into practice during the course of successful practitioner careers. With more than 80 years of combined experience leading people in complex organizations, the authors hope to impart that experience to the next generation of health leaders in a way that is both meaningful and useful to scholars and practicing health professionals.
