Physicians are often asked to lead healthcare teams, departments, divisions, practices, and hospitals. Though many of them are experts in their fields, they are rarely prepared or educated in business management and leadership. Based on the authors’ interviews with many physician and non-physician executives and leaders, medical training contributes little to leadership skills. Many physicians leave medical training with a command-and-control leadership style that later has to be unlearned to succeed in a team-based healthcare environment. This book will help physician leaders to shed derailers and authoritarian leadership tendencies picked up in years of medical training. It is intended for (1) physicians who are transitioning to healthcare leadership roles, (2) senior-level physician and non-physician leaders as a coaching model to develop their physician leader direct reports, and (3) administrative leaders who are partnering with physician leaders. Both authors progressed from mid-level leadership roles to the C-suite, one as a physician leader and one as an administrative leader. As such, they have leveraged their operational excellence expertise to design the Iterative Leadership Model that includes the leader’s mindset, Leadership Strategies, and a coaching framework: GUIDES (Gather, Understand, Identify, Design, Execute, and Self-Reflect) that is based on the scientific method, PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act), A3 thinking, and the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format. The authors masterfully integrate personal reflections, coaching examples, illustrative fictional vignettes, and GUIDES exercises to support leaders in the self-development and self-improvement of seven critical Leadership Attributes: strategic thinking, effective communication, coaching, team-building, change management, continuous learning, and problem-solving.

Will he take her to court or to dinner? When Sky Sawyer joins her high school golf team, she hopes that the mother she thought dead may still be alive and seek her out at the championship tournament.

The lines between our work and our personal lives have become increasingly blurred. Between working from home, demands that don''t fit neatly within an eight-hour workday, and growing factors affecting mental and emotional well-being, it''s difficult to compartmentalize your professional identity from your personal life. For leaders, that brings new challenges when it comes to supporting the success of your people. As individuals, it requires greater clarity around what success means to you and how to achieve it. The key to building a future of work where both employees and the bottom line thrives is equipping individuals at all levels to create it. In On Purpose: Strategies for Living and Leading, the 13 authors address challenges faced by leaders, individual contributors and even entrepreneurs that aren''t necessarily new, but whose impact are significantly changing how we live, work, and lead today. Topics including leading in times of crisis, creating a psychologically safe work environment, reclaiming your power when you feel professionally marginalized, overcoming fear, burnout, and habits that sabotage your productivity, and building authentic confidence. This book is the third installment in the On Purpose series published by Isha Cogborn and Epiphany Institute, focused on amplifying diverse voices in personal and professional development.

One glance. A shipwreck. Can a love affair forged in peril sustain two independent spirits? Lavinia Onslow, who delights in the freedom of managing her father''s millinery shop in the heart of Savannah, Georgia, has decided she may defy convention and not marry after all. Yet, in the summer of 1838, on board the elegant steamship Pulaski, bound from Savannah to Baltimore, she exchanges glances with an intriguing young man. What can ensue from a mere glance? Quite a lot, as legend has it. That very night, the boiler of the Pulaski explodes and the ship sinks, drowning most of its wealthy passengers. As Lavinia struggles in the water in her heavy dress, calling out for her father and thinking she will surely perish, someone dives in to rescue her, pulling her up next to him on a makeshift raft made of two deck settees. When she composes herself, she recognizes the intriguing man. There they float, alone but together, surrounded by ocean, thirty miles off the coast of North Carolina, desperate for a life-saving miracle. Is the bond she feels for this stranger more than an instinct for survival? Inspired by a legend --that may or not be true-- and set in the rich historic milieus of Savannah, New Orleans, and the coast of North Carolina, Between the Sky and the Sea explores how Lavinia Onslow''s desire to live as an independent woman transforms after surviving the wreck of the Pulaski.

As I started writing this book, it was suppose to be about encouraging people that were down or had no hope. I continued to write and realized that I was telling my story of my life and my weaknesses. I started getting comfortable and said to myself. "If you are going to write books the people need to know who you are. So i continued and shared some of the deepest things that I felt people should know and the things that I have encountered. I have always had the notion that God was looking out for me even in the unwise decisions that I have made. whether I was drinking, or in an unsafe environment God knew me but, i didn''t really know him. I lived a life of drugs, alcohol, prejudice and attempted suicide but when I made the decision to come to God, my life changed for the better. I want you to know no matter how your life started out, it does not have to end there. My story is a book that will identify with some of your short comings, some of your experiences, some of your downfalls but will show how the love of God rescued me and my desire to have God rescue you. I learned that God needed me so I could not kill myself, I learned that God wanted me to love the way he loves and it didn''t matter what the color of your skin was, I learned losing one brother made me appreciate and love the other brother who is my friend today. I hope this book will encourage you and get you to embrace Gods love that he has for you.

Life is all about taking risks and accepting new challenges... right? For Jackson Whitman, a 42-year-old, challenge- seeking, logistics manager, she did just that on a recent job promotion that took her from Charlotte North Carolina to upstate New York. What was supposed to be a new and exciting beginning in her career within her company of eleven years was turning out to be one of the worst decisions she could have ever made while struggling with the tough decision on whether to stay or leave her new home and even her company. Her decision may be made easier once signs arise of abuse of power by underhanded management staff as well as abuse and belittlement of the hard-working employees that worked within the branch. Jackson sacrificed many things for her own personal achievement, one including putting off plans with the love of her life, Gail Wilson to relocate to Florida to start a new life of their own as planned. However, one thing Jackson will not sacrifice is her dignity, self-worth, and integrity. As true colors continue to rear their ugly faces between her own corporate department along with her new, deceitful, and disgraceful branch manager, Jackson’s window is closing around her, and decision time is now. What does the future hold for Jackson in her new world? What decisions will be made with her prominent career as well as life as she knew it in North Carolina? Will she stick it out in the uncertain, cold world of upstate New York or will she make the ultimate, risky, and brave move to call it quits and return to the love of her life and back to her home in Charlotte? And if she does, will she and Gail finally make it to the sunny skies of Florida as the two had originally planned? This new and exciting eye-opener, which teaches an important lesson will keep you attached until the very last page!

Chad, a St. Louis native, is a thirty-year-old, very successful, and very handsome consultant. He is also a recent newly single man after he and his longtime girlfriend of six years called it quits over Chad’s newfound love for social media, which became too much for Courtney to handle. After a couple of months of trying to win her back to no avail, Chad’s doggish ways returned with a vengeance. New to the social media world, his best friend Chris, who introduced him to the new platforms, warned him to be careful because some things and people are not what they seem in this virtual world. That warning though unfortunately fell on deaf ears. As Chad continues to meet and seduce new women, he will soon find himself in a number of situations where he has bitten off more than he can chew, but there is one rabbit hole with multiple tunnels that if he falls in, he will realize that it will be nearly impossible to climb out of when a revelation shocks and enrages him to the point of destruction while another may have his life and freedom on the line. Even if he gets out of one situation, will he be able to overcome the other? Will this ladies man listen to his best friends’ advice, or will he let his addiction to this new world continue to let him dig himself deeper into a hole that he can not escape? Are his friends warning that people and things are not what they seem closer to home than Chad could ever know?
