Growing Physician Leaders demonstrates that any individual, regardless of temperament or background, can grow in his or her leadership abilities by learning and applying the core techniques of leadership. Hertling's sequential approach helps physicians (and anyone else working in health care) to succeed by teaching them how to understand themselves, how to effectively interact with others, and how to build teams and organizations that accomplish organizational objectives. The book gives physicians a potent tool to improve their personal health, their professional health, their organizational health, and ultimately, our nation's health.
