  “Bell and Cortese clearly articulate the central importance of leadership to achieving high value, patient-centric health and wellness . . . compelling.”—William B. Rouse, PhD, author of Understanding and Managing the Complexity of Healthcare   Healthcare in America is wildly inconsistent and uncomfortably close to bankruptcy, and the only way it can be rescued is with leaders in all the different areas of healthcare stepping up with the right kind of leadership. The problem is that they don’t realize the importance of their leadership, and even when they do, they don’t know how to lead. Rescuing Healthcare shows them (and the rest of us) why it’s so important that they do step up, and—the critical ingredient—it shows them how to exercise the right kind of leadership—whatever their role or contribution. And for the rest of us as consumers, it shows us what we should be expecting . . . and demanding. The goal of this book, then, is nothing less than the salvation and transformation of healthcare.  “One of America’s most eminent medical executives and a highly-regarded thought leader in leadership have given us a masterful overview of healthcare leadership and how to improve it. Rescuing Healthcare gets straight to the point, with a sharp diagnosis of our ills and a clear vision of where healthcare needs to go. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, Dr. Cortese and Antony Bell offer a detailed strategy to unite your organization around a common purpose, improve patient care, and succeed in a value-based environment.” —Toby Cosgrove, MD, CEO and President, Cleveland Clinic

  One of the few Black women to break into the boy's club of Silicon Valley offers her secrets for how anyone can build a legacy of wealth and impact. Having lived nearly her entire life below the poverty line before going on to attain wealth and success as an entrepreneur and investor, Arlan Hamilton knows that money is power—but not for the reasons most people believe. Money is power, she says, because it provides us with options: to pursue our passions, take risks, and change our situation in life. In Your First Million, Hamilton argues that entrepreneurship is the quickest path to attaining that power—particularly for those who haven’t had much of it in the past— shows how anyone—no matter what they look like or how much money they have—can tap into all the new tools, platforms, and sources of funding available to get their million-dollar idea off the ground. Readers will learn: how to identify unmet needs in the market, raise money in ways that preserve ownership, choose the right collaborators, create multiple income streams, and turn their unique knowledge and experience into a profitable businesses—while reinvesting in their communities and empowering others to do the same. If we can change who gets to decide what new ideas are worthy, and who gets to turn those ideas into reality, not only can we change our own circumstances—we can change the world.

  An Evidence-Based Approach to Personality and Leadership
  
   
  A leader’s bullying and constant dismissal of his team’s concerns nearly take down an entire company-and the global financial system. The U.S. Government has to provide a $182 billion bailout. A new CEO transforms a near-bankrupt auto company and its infamously competitive culture becomes more collaborative and thrives-making it the only auto manufacturer to not take bailout funds.
  
   
  These stories share a truth: Each leader’s personality set the course of their company’s future. We all know that IQ, education, knowledge, and technical skills are essential for professionals, but they alone are insufficient for effective leadership. Who you are as a person-your personality and character-drives leadership performance and determines who thrives and who fails.
  
   
  In Personality at Work, psychologist Ron Warren lays out the key personality traits that drive high performance-and the common traits that derail it. Warren clusters closely related traits into four dimensions of behavior: 
  
   
  
  * Teamwork/Social Intelligence 
  
  * Deference 
  
  * Dominance 
  
  * Grit/Task Mastery.
  
   
  Each cluster is broken down into personality traits-13 in all.
  
   
  Personality at Work draws from research using the renowned LMAP 360 with 20,000 leaders and 250,000 360-feedback raters. An assessment used at organizations around the world, LMAP 360 is used at Harvard Business School, Yale School of Management, Underwriter Laboratories, BearingPoint, Deloitte, Teach for America, Clayton Homes, and more than 35 hospital systems throughout the United States.
  
   
  Personality at Work integrates research on personality and performance, teamwork, communications, judgment, and decision-making. You will learn how to …
  
   
  * Recognize your own personality patterns and those of colleagues 
  
  * Understand the links between personality, leadership, and organizational effectiveness 
  
  * Turn insights into action, leading with Grit and EQ to drive individual and team performance
