The injuries of disruptive and uncivil behavior-too long tolerated in medicine-and ways to address them

The Seven Common Leadership Missteps® of Physicians, including lack of openness and an inability to be a team player, and methods to effectively change these behaviors

Standards for civility-driven behavior and professionalism, how to overcome objections to them, and to create and sustain a culture that supports them

Innovations, providing clear, concise directives for change that health care leaders can use starting today

This instructive and inspiring book includes a Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith, Ph.D., leadership expert and author of New York Times best sellers MOJO: How to Get It, How to Keep It, and How to Get It Back When You Lose It! and What Got You Here Won't Get You There.
