We wrote this book because our experience convinces us that with the right kind of leadership, health care organizations can improve patient care, decrease per capita cost, and improve community health; however, we also see that current models of leadership and conceptual tools for change are inadequate. The purpose of this book is to provide a practical guide for the kind of leadership needed. It combines concepts and tools, theory and proven practice.
