The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model

The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model

To many people the words ‘leader’ and ‘humble’ are not natural bedfellows. Yet once they have grasped the definition most employees desire a humble leader while a majority of managers believe they already are one. What appears deceptively simple is trickier than expected. Narcissism lack of perception fixed mindsets and neuronal default settings are only a few of the stumbling blocks on the path to humility. What exactly is this sought-after humility? Humility consists of four key elements: 1) Seeing one’s own strength and weaknesses and revealing them where needed for the bigger picture; 2) Appreciating others for what they are do now and can do; 3) Being open and willing to learn; 4) Understanding that we are all only a small part of a larger picture easily replaceable and favored by luck and circumstance. Therefore humility has nothing to do with being weak or hiding the light under the bushel. Instead it is about clarity taking a step back from one’s ego and thus being able to serve the greater picture. The author’s own research with more than 3 500 managers contributes to the canon of positive effects of humility that have been measured by dozens of researchers during the last decade. Humility benefits employees (ranging from better performance more innovation stronger resilience to better client relations and stronger morals) the organization (ranging from better ambidextrous strategies a better culture to fewer sunk costs) and the managers themselves (ranging from more seen leadership potential to less stress and better relationships with employees). Dozens of case studies quotes from more than 170 interviews with top managers lively storytelling of real-life examples and solid research with actionable take-aways plus personal assessments make this an eminently readable and practical book for managers worldwide. | The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model

Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

There is no end in sight to the frequency with which physicians nursing professionals and other healthcare providers will become lawsuit targets in our litigious society. While politicians practitioners insurance companies and trial attorneys debate the nation’s chronic malpractice crisis suits continue to be filed. In addition once COVID-19 is behind us and the unprecedented public support for health care providers wanes as it will it is anticipated that physicians and nurses will become malpractice defendants to a remarkable degree. National legislative fact-finding committees and investigative bodies which may be charged with the responsibility of pursuing a solution likely will never achieve a global remedy. Although curtailed by some states national legislation has not addressed baseless malpractice suites or grossly excessive monetary verdicts. Another approach exists however. Health care providers can impact the existing system and influence the malpractice environments in a tangible positive and powerful fashion. Although there will be debate over tort reform in order to bring some degree of protection to the malpractice defendant individual case success defined from the defendant’s perspective as a no-cause trial verdict can be realized if well-credentialed and experienced health care professionals are willing to assist the malpractice defense bar as expert witnesses. The benefits to the health care community and the individuals who are willing to participate are innumerable and worth considering. | Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

This book focuses on the implementation of Hoshin Kanri. It is a response to most books on strategic planning that tend to downplay the implementation and only describe the fully implemented planning process. The power of this book originates from a project in which a team of five professionals over a period of three years implemented Hoshin Kanri in 14 companies; results were drawn from 130 workshops with leadership teams. The project team subsequently ran several accelerators inside large and small companies as well as public institutions. All these experiences together form the implementation focus of the book. Moreover the organization of the book mirrors the message of its scientific thinking which is also the basic principle of Hoshin Kanri: Chapter 1 focuses on the basic analysis—Is Hoshin Kanri something for your organization? Chapter 2 addresses the ambition—What is the vision for strategy work in your organization? Chapter 3 presents the conditions needed for effective strategic work. Chapter 4 discusses the choice of implementation strategy and your role as the change agent. Chapter 5 describes how Hoshin Kanri works when implemented. Chapter 6 addresses coaching/mentoring and the Kata philosophy. Chapter 7 presents important analytical tools. Appendix 1 describes the journey made by a medium-sized construction company. Essentially this book describes in a concrete and structured way how you—the change agent—can use Hoshin Kanri in your organization to tackle large and complex challenges. | Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

American Healthcare Why It Costs So Much Yet Remains a Beacon of Growth and Development

American Healthcare Why It Costs So Much Yet Remains a Beacon of Growth and Development

Selected by the Association of University Programs in Health Administrationfor the Bugbee-Falk Book Award Is the health sector a curse or a blessing? The American health sector now accounts for a fifth of the economy. American healthcare spending per capita far exceeds that of other developed countries. Yet our health as measured by life expectancy and infant mortality is poor by comparison with the developed world. Other measures of quality including hospital-acquired infection are too common. Healthcare costs financially cripple households despite advances associated with the Affordable Care Act. There is widespread dissatisfaction with the American healthcare system and support for more change. It is also the case that the health sector has been a leader in the evolution of the American economy. Economic development is driven by innovative technology. We tend to applaud new technology and the improvement it brings to our lives. Important recent technologies often grow rapidly and faster than the wider economy. This leads to larger shares of the economy. Yet there is considerable apprehension about costs and economic impact of health spending. This book details important health sector institutions and uniquely explores linkages between healthcare and broader economic growth. The book addresses asymmetric information between providers and consumers as well as between insurers and beneficiaries. There is a focus on monopoly power in labor markets which contributes to inefficiencies in the system. The author also discusses cost-effectiveness and allocative efficiency as well as emphasizing productivity and its relationship to the wider economy. | American Healthcare Why It Costs So Much Yet Remains a Beacon of Growth and Development

The current promise and hype around AI are being driven by software vendors academic research projects and startups. However we posit that the greatest promise and potential for AI lies in the enterprise with its applications touching all organizational facets. With increasing business process and workflow maturity coupled with recent trends in cloud computing datafication IoT cybersecurity and advanced analytics there is an understanding that the challenges of tomorrow cannot be solely addressed by today’s people processes and products. There is still considerable mystery hype and fear about AI in today’s world. A considerable amount of current discourse focuses on a dystopian future that could adversely affect humanity. Such opinions with understandable fear of the unknown don’t consider the history of human innovation the current state of business and technology or the primarily augmentative nature of tomorrow’s AI. This book demystifies AI for the enterprise. It takes readers from the basics (definitions state-of-the-art etc. ) to a multi-industry journey and concludes with expert advice on everything an organization must do to succeed. Along the way we debunk myths provide practical pointers and include best practices with applicable vignettes. AI brings to enterprise the capabilities that promise new ways by which professionals can address both mundane and interesting challenges more efficiently effectively and collaboratively (with humans).

Restorative Just Culture in Practice Implementation and Evaluation

Restorative Just Culture in Practice Implementation and Evaluation

A restorative just culture has become a core aspiration for many organizations in healthcare and elsewhere. Whereas ‘just culture’ is the topic of some residual conceptual debate (e. g. retributive policies organized around rules violations and consequences are ‘sold’ as just culture) the evidence base on and business case for restorative practice has been growing and is generating increasing global interest. In the wake of an incident restorative practices ask who are impacted what their needs are and whose obligation it is to meet those needs. Restorative practices aim to involve participants from the entire community in the resolution and repair of harms. This book offers organization leaders and stakeholders a practical guide to the experiences of implementingand evaluating restorative practices and creating a sustainable just restorative culture. It contains the perspectives from leaders theoreticians regulators employees and patient representatives. To the best of our knowledge there is no book on the market today that can function as a guide for the implementation and evaluation of a just and learning culture and restorative practices. This book is intended to fill this gap. This book will provide among other topics an overview of restorative just culture principles and practices; a balanced treatment of the various implementations and evaluations of just culture and restorative processes; a guide for leaders about what to stop start increase and decrease in their own organizations; and an attentive to philosophical and historical traditions and assumptions that underlie just culture and restorative approaches. The interest in ‘just culture’ not just in healthcare but also in other fields of safety-critical practice has been steadily growing over the past decade. It is a trending area. In this it has become clear that 20-year-old retributive models not only hinder the acceleration of performance and organizational improvement but have also in some cases become a blunt HR instrument an expression of power over justice and a way to stifle honesty reporting and learning. What is new in this then is the restorative angle on just culture as it has been developed over the last few years and now is practised and applied to HR suicide prevention healthcareimprovement regulatory innovations and other areas. | Restorative Just Culture in Practice Implementation and Evaluation

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation: From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer is organized into three parts that expose and develop the three capabilities that are essential for a successful digital transformation: 1. Understanding how to co-create digital services with users whether they are customers or future customers. This ability combines observation dialogue and iterative experimentation. The approach proposed in this book is based on the Lean Startup approach according to an extended vision that combines Design Thinking and Growth Hacking. Companies must become truly customer-centric from observation and listening to co-development. The revolution of the digital age of the 21st century is that customer orientation is more imperative - the era of abundance usages rate of change complexity of experiences and shift of power towards communities - are easier using digital tools and digital communities. 2. Developing an information system (IS) that is the backbone of the digital transformation – called “exponential information system” to designate an open IS (in particular on its borders) capable of interfacing and combining with external services positioned as a player in software ecosystems and built for processing scalable and dynamic data flows. The exponential information system is constantly changing and it continuously absorbs the best of information processing technology such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. 3. Building software “micro-factories” that produce service platforms which are called “Lean software factories. ” This “software factory” concept covers the integration of agile methods tooling and continuous integration and deployment practices a customer-oriented product approach and a platform approach based on modularity as well as API-based architecture and openness to external stakeholders. This software micro-factory is the foundation that continuously produces and provides constantly evolving services. These three capabilities are not unique or specific to this book they are linked to other concepts such as agile methods product development according to lean principles software production approaches such as CICD (continuous integration and deployment) or DevOps. This book weaves a common frame of reference for all these approaches to derive more value from the digital transformation and to facilitate its implementation. The title of the book refers to the “lean approach to digital transformation” because the two underlying frameworks Lean Startup and Lean Software Factory are directly inspired by Lean in the sense of the Toyota Way. The Lean approach is present from the beginning to the end of this book - it provides the framework for customer orientation and the love of a job well done which are the conditions for the success of a digital transformation. | The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

Lean Healthcare Systems Engineering for Clinical Environments A Step-by-Step Process for Managing Workflow and Care Improvement Projects

Lean Healthcare Systems Engineering for Clinical Environments A Step-by-Step Process for Managing Workflow and Care Improvement Projects

It has been almost 20 years since the Institute of Medicine released the seminal report titled Crossing the Quality Chasm. In it the IoM identified six domains of care quality (safe timely effective efficient equitable and patient-centric) and noted a huge gap between the current state and the desired state. Although this report received a great deal of attention sadly there has been little progress in these areas. In the U. S. healthcare still has huge disparities is inefficient and is fragmented with delays in care that are often unsafe. Most U. S. citizens are expected to suffer from a diagnostic error sometime during their lifetime not receive a large fraction of recommended care and pay for one of the most expensive systems in the world. Much has been written about quality improvement over the years but many prominent quality and safety experts. Yet progress has been slow. Some have called on the healthcare professions to look outside of healthcare to other industries using examples in nuclear power and airlines for safety the hotel and entertainment industry for a ‘customer’ focus and the automotive industry particularly Toyota for efficiency (Lean). This book by Dr. Oppenheim on lean healthcare systems engineering (LHSE) is a fresh approach that brings forth concepts that systems engineers have used in huge national defense projects. What’s unique in this book is that these powerful system engineering tools are modified to be able to address smaller sized healthcare problems that still involve similar problems in fragmentation and poor communication and coordination. This book is an invaluable reference for a new powerful process named Lean Healthcare Systems Engineering (LHSE) for managing workflow and care improvement projects in all clinical environments. The book applies to ambulatory clinics and hospitals of all types including operating rooms emergency departments and ancillary departments clinical and imaging laboratories pharmacies and population health. The book presents a generic rigorous but not mathematical step-by-step process of integrated healthcare systems engineering and Lean. The book also contains the first major product created with the LHSE process namely tabularized summaries of representative projects in healthcare delivery applications called Lean Enablers for Healthcare Projects. Each full-page enabler table lists the challenges and wastes powerful improvement goals risks and expected benefits and some useful descriptions of the healthcare system of interest. The book provides user-friendly solutions to major problems in healthcare delivery operations in all clinical environments addressing fragmentation wastes wrong incentives ad-hoc and stove-piped management lack of optimized processes hierarchy gradient lack of systems thinking “blaming and shaming culture” burnout of providers and many others. | Lean Healthcare Systems Engineering for Clinical Environments A Step-by-Step Process for Managing Workflow and Care Improvement Projects

Age Friendly Ending Ageism in America

Age Friendly Ending Ageism in America

Age Friendly: Ending Ageism in America is a rallying call to make the United States a more equitable and just nation in terms of age. Age friendliness means being inclusive towards older people as workers consumers and citizens something that can’t be said to exist today. The United States and especially Big Business are notoriously age-unfriendly places a result of our obsession with youth. Virtually all aspects of everyday life in America will be impacted by the doubling or tripling of the number of older people over the next two decades more reason to adopt age friendliness as a cause. Age Friendly shows how large companies are in an ideal position to address the aging of America and in the process benefit from making their organizations more age friendly. Because of its economic power and commitment to diversity in the workplace Big Business—specifically the Fortune 1000—has the opportunity and responsibility to take a leadership role in changing the narrative of aging in America. The book shows that age friendliness offers the possibility of bridging gaps not just between younger and older people but those based on income class race gender politics and geography. More than anything else Age Friendly presents a bold and counterintuitive idea—aging is a positive thing for businesses individuals and society as a whole—and we should embrace it rather than fear it. While ageism is a pervasive force in America that like racism and gender discrimination runs contrary to our democratic ideals there is some good news. An age friendly movement is spreading in America and around the world as a growing number of cities and towns strive to better meet the needs of their older residents. Aa well a concerted effort is being made to convince Big Business that an intergenerational workforce is in the best interests of not just older employees but the companies themselves. Age brings experience perspective and wisdom—just the right skill set for both short- and long-term decision-making. The aging of America also presents major implications for businesses in terms of marketing to older consumers. Baby boomers are still the key to the economy despite marketers’ focus on youth much in part to their collective wealth and propensity to consume.
