The Leader "Ships" Disease: A Semantic Health Care Leadership Perspective (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781698718705)

The Leadership Disease presents a holistic, integrated, principle-centered approach to solving personal and professional problems by teaching others to look inward instead of outward to achieve personal fulfi llment. Dr. Lorenzo Suter is the best selling author of Self-Empowerment books. Dr. Suter has travelled hundred of thousand of miles to inspire and to challenge status quo by using thought provoking ideologies to engage a conversation. Lets take off line. To your point. We need to side bar. Going down a rabbit hole. Getting into the weeds. Elephant in the room. Don't want to steal your thunder. There are not dumb questions. These are a few of the semantics that are allowing leadership in healthcare to fail. The last 4 letters in leadership is SHIP. Imagine a hospital being a ship. It is to serve one purpose and that is to heal and service all mankind clinically. However, healthcare has a new disease called the SHIPS DISEASE. A disease that is going untreated, infl uenced by "good ole boys" semantics that in all candor is causing hospitals to sink and fail! However, there is a cure for this disease that is killing our healthcare systems. As I explore the diagnosis and seek to prescribe a philosophical medication, I challenge you to ponder your healthcare experiences while you read this narrative. The cure is changing the Culture! Through semantics, Suter provides practical advice that will help strengthen core leadership team intuitive decision-making skills while also sharing detailed guidance on how to change culture. A company's culture is its basic personality, the essence of how its people interact and work. However, it is an elusively complex entity that survives and evolves mostly through gradual shifts in leadership, strategy, and other circumstances. We fi nd the most useful defi nition is also the simplest: Culture is the self-sustaining pattern of behavior that determines how things are done. Made of instinctive, repetitive habits and emotional responses, culture can't be copied or easily pinned down. Corporate cultures are constantly selfrenewing and slowly evolving: What people feel, think, and believe is refl ected and shaped by the way they go about their business. Formal eff orts to change a culture seldom manage to get to the ear of what motivates people, what makes them tick. Three dimensions of corporate culture aff ect its alignment: symbolic reminders, keystone behaviors and mind-sets. Of these, healthcare executives, workers, physicians, and all pertinent like-minded groups should remove the elephant from the hospital board rooms, surgeon lounges and staff break rooms, remove the rabbits, and stop stealing each other thunder! And YES! There are STUPID QUESTIONS! Lil Cuz (titular character of a children's book) will be coming to you soon and it will be teaching children about their mental health. So continue to Beat Adversity and Aspire to Live!
