Straight A Leadership

Execution has always demanded great leadership. In 21st century healthcare, it demands Straight A Leadership.

Leading a healthcare organization is the toughest job in the world—and it's getting tougher. We work in an industry where at least 50 percent of our customers are paid for by an ever-changing government. We operate under strict regulations. We care for patients who can't pay. And the work itself is high-stakes—nothing short of life or death.

To survive in a rapidly shifting, do-more-with-less external environment, organizations need the agility to execute swiftly and well. This book, based on Studer Group's research with America's top healthcare organizations, pinpoints what gets in the way of execution and reveals how to overcome these obstacles.

Readers will learn how to:

• Align their leadership mindset and resources to create a consistent experience for patients, physicians, and staff
• Take the right actions quickly and precisely and move best practices throughout the organization
• Create systems and processes that hold people accountable for executing well

Straight A Leadership will help you identify gaps in Alignment, Action, and Accountability, create a plan to fill them, and become a more resourceful, agile, high-performing organization.
