Book excerpt: Gaps in healthcare delivery and health outcomes are wide, persistent, and increasing in communities throughout the United States—especially among historically underrepresented and excluded groups. Addressing the systemic challenges of structural racism, political conflict, social unrest, and climate change requires interdisciplinary collaboration and consideration of the social and structural determinants of health (SSDH). Nursing Leaders Driving Health Equity: Tackling Social and Structural Determinants is the first comprehensive guide to integrate SSDH into nursing and interdisciplinary programs, curricula, and practice to combat the complex factors impacting health equity. Case studies and practical advice from experienced nursing educators, administrators, and practitioners provide a framework for the development, integration, discussion, and assessment of SSDH in teaching, learning, and practice environments. This empowering, easy-to-use guide helps you: * Design effective educational strategies integrating SSDH into existing curricula and prepare students to address the social challenges impacting their patients’ health outcomes. * Develop holistic and sustainable infrastructures, policies, and workflows focusing on identification of patients who need referrals for intervention and evaluation for outcomes related to SSDH. * Apply research and evidence-based practice related to SSDH to help identify patients with unmet needs and refer them to community resources and support services. * Implement guidelines that support the integration of SSDH into healthcare practice.

Book excerpt: Leading Through Leaders: Driving Strategy, Execution and Change will help you improve your business results by overcoming the challenges of uncertainty, complexity, imperfect decision-making and communication, and staff disengagement.

Based on the author's 27 years of leadership and consulting experience, and illustrated with case studies and learning from clients such as Cisco, Best Western, ABN AMRO, Pfizer and the NHS, this book provides unique insights into 'effective leadership' in some of the world's best known enterprises. Leading Through Leaders presents an integrated suite of proven and durable principles and tools, and the leadership psychology, that may be adapted and used by any leader. It provides businesses with the intellectual firepower to rise above the fog and clutter of operational issues and focus on strategic priorities, with the confidence that junior leaders and their teams are fully engaged and aligned at the tactical level.

Book excerpt: Rob Stokoe, director at Jumeirah English Speaking Schools in Dubai, explores the ever-changing demands and requirements for leadership in education and leaders of learning: 'We now know so much more about how we learn, how our brains function and grow. Our collaborative networks are growing exponentially; educators are now globally connected. Furthermore there is a growing awareness and a deeper understanding emerging, a convergence of ideas, new and old, which are informing the educational debate. 'We have a job to do, to make informed, considered decisions, to be flexible and pro active, take risks in order to structure and define ways of learning and inquiry-based education which will best meet the needs of students who are the greatest resource humanity has. Our goal is simply to determine a meaningful and purposeful future for each and every student globally.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of business makes generous use of metaphors drawn from the auto industry--as in "driving for results," "leading in the fast lane," "looking under the organization's hood," and "leaving the competition in the dust." But this timely, highly readable handbook goes a big step further. Author Chris Cappy, a veteran management consultant and self-professed "car guy," along with Scott Good, a serial entrepreneur and national championship-winning racing driver, contend that driving is much more than just a metaphor. Together, they demonstrate that the principles of top-level automobile racing can teach us a great deal not only about leadership, but also about life. In this book, they literally put us in the driver's seat and show us how it's done. Endurance racing at the highest levels is a sophisticated team sport, not just an isolated act of derring-do. It takes vision, planning, training, and exquisite execution by many people over a long period of time. Sound familiar? If you're a business executive, it should. High-performance leading, like racing, is emphatically a team endeavor. The authors' passion for their subject leaps out from every page, and it's catching. So are the keen insights derived from the racetrack--insights used to demonstrate how to leverage and apply important skills and principles in our professional and personal lives. After all, today's business environment is nothing if not fast and furious. There's danger around every curve; if we can't learn how to see around that curve before we get there, to anticipate quickly how to respond, and then to guide ourselves and our organizations around them safely, we'll spin out of control. Isn't that what today's leadership is all about--recognizing with a clear eye the uncertainty and volatility all around us, and then coaching teams of highly-trained people to navigate through successfully? Yes, but how--how do leaders teach, align and motivate their employees to maximize business results? To answer those questions, "The Driving Leader's Handbook" escorts us into the high-pressure world of motorsports and then deftly pulls back to offer cogent advice. It guides us step-by-step through the process that leads a professional driver--or an executive--to a level of performance not previously thought possible. It's a feeling (yes, feelings and instinct in this realm trump pure knowledge) of calm focus--that relaxed state amidst chaos and confusion that nimbly guides a sports car, or an executive team, through extreme adversity. "The Driving Leader's Handbook" blends the lessons learned from the racetrack with vast experience gained while working with senior executives of some of the world's largest corporations around organizational change. Leading change is the most daunting challenge today's leaders face, but face it they must: There's no alternative. Leadership and change have become synonymous. Drawing from the example of legendary racing team owners like Roger Penske, Chris and Scott show how to build a business case for change by involving employees and wider stakeholders in the process at every level. For the leader, it requires a level of passion, commitment and relentless focus on results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a team of highly experienced and successful executive leadership consultants, this book offers 10 data-driven insights regarding leadership effectiveness, accompanied by practical and easy-to-implement recommendations that directly serve the development of leadership ability. What makes How Leaders Improve: A Playbook for Leaders Who Want to Get Better Now markedly different from and better than the scores of other books on the topic of leadership? Instead of dedicating their efforts to imparting wisdom on what makes a great leader, the three-person leadership training "dream team" behind this book explain how already-effective leaders can actually get better. How Leaders Improve is a data- and research-driven playbook for how any leader can improve their leadership abilities in a practical, immediate way. Authors Gates, Graddy, and Lindekens—all experienced executive coaches and leadership development consultants—have spent their careers developing leaders, and now they share 10 key insights derived from interviews with leaders who achieved significant improvements in their leadership effectiveness. These data-driven insights are augmented by the authors' knowledge of the science behind human behavior change, as well as their experience in developing leaders. The book serves four audiences: leaders looking to improve themselves; organizational stakeholders with the responsibility of developing leaders; individual coaches or managers who want to boost their effectiveness in developing leaders; and educators in the fields of leadership, communication, organizational behavior, organizational psychology, and related fields.

Book excerpt: The culmination of six years of research and development, The Work of Leaders presents a simple structure that neatly captures the complexity of contemporary leadership. The goal of this book is to make this wealth of leadership insight accessible to anyone who wants better results as a leader. The work that leaders do—the work that really matters—is boiled down to three areas: crafting a vision, building alignment, and championing execution. Vision, Alignment, and Execution are “magic words.” They strike a chord that turns the goal of leadership into tangible steps. With passion and insight, the authors draw from the best-known leadership authorities, while leveraging their unparalleled access to data from thousands of leaders and followers and their connections to hundreds of organizational development consultants. Interwoven with humor and drawing from real-world scenarios, The Work of Leaders distills leadership best practices into a simple, compelling process that helps leaders at all levels get immediate results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coach. Entrepreneur. Mentor. Executive. Servant. Visionary. Everyone has a different idea of what a leader should be. How can any one person be everything? Scott Rodin brings unity and clarity to this confusing, demanding picture of leadership. He offers a comprehensive model that brings together a biblical understanding of holistic stewardship with the best in leadership studies. Whether in churches, not-for-profit ministries or in business the need for sound leadership is readily apparent. Drawing on his years of experience in development and fundraising and his extensive theological training, Scott Rodin offers a new paradigm--a transformational approach to leadership that is biblically sound, theologically rich and practically compelling.
