"Written for physicians, practice managers, unit directors, chief nursing officers, or anyone else serving as someone's boss in a healthcare setting, this book is a powerful primer on successfully building teams and leading people." Why are some healthcare teams polluted by conflict, gossip, and lack of effort, while others work hard, get along, and wow patients? Research says it's the boss that makes the difference. The most engaged and inspired healthcare teams don't get that way by chance. They are led by physicians and managers who create the conditions necessary for people to thrive. Yet many leaders in healthcare settings lack insight into what employees must experience to be at their best, every day. Cure for the Common Leader translates the latest research on leadership, employee engagement, and motivation into SEVEN actions physicians and managers must take to engage and inspire healthcare teams. With more than 14 years of experience training leaders, Joe Mull packs each chapter with tips, ideas, strategies, and exercises to help physicians and managers get their teams firing on all cylinders. "While healthcare undergoes a variety of changes, one thing remains the same: the need for physicians and managers to build, lead, and sustain talented, dedicated teams. Mr. Mull has outlined exactly how to get there in one of the most practical healthcare leadership books you will ever read." ~Robert Maha, MD, MBA Chief Medical Officer/Chief Operating Officer, MedExpress. "As a leadership how-to for physicians and managers, Cure for the Common Leader is truly superior, brimming with savvy advice and clear direction. It's a powerful toolkit for anyone leading others in healthcare." ~Barb Moran, RN, BSN, MBAChief Clinical Officer/Chief Nursing Officer, Grace Hospital "25 years in healthcare has taught me that managing a team is the most challenging part of the job. Joe Mull has been, for me, a guiding influence in my quest to keep employees engaged. I am so excited that he has written this book. It's a clear, specific action guide that spells out exactly what healthcare leaders must do to be successful." ~Teresa D. Babyak, RN, MHA, MBA,Director of Operations, Washington Physicians Group

"Sweet Spot." Ever swung a baseball bat or paddled a Ping-Pong ball? If so, you know the oh-so-nice feel of the sweet spot. Life in the sweet spot rolls like the downhill side of a downwind bike ride. But you don't have to swing a bat or a club to know this. What engineers give sports equipment, God gave you. A zone, a region, a life precinct in which you were made to dwell. He tailored the curves of your life to fit an empty space in his jigsaw puzzle. And life makes sweet sense when you find your spot. But if you're like 70 percent of working adults, you haven't found it. You don't find meaning in your work, or you don't believe your talents are used. What can you do? You're suffering from the common life, and you desperately need a cure. Best-selling author Max Lucado has found it. In Cure for the Common Life, he offers practical tools for exploring and identifying your own uniqueness, motivation to put your strengths to work, and the perfect prescription for finding and living in your sweet spot for the rest of your life.

Prepare to be cured by this quirky and hilarious debut novel about a sixteen-year-old loner who is sent to rehab for video game addiction—“perfect for teen gamers and readers who are fans of Jesse Andrews and John Green” (School Library Journal). Sixteen-year-old Jaxon is being committed to video game rehab…ten minutes after meeting a girl. A living, breathing girl named Serena, who not only laughed at his jokes but actually kinda sorta seemed excited when she agreed to go out with him. Jaxon’s first date. Ever. In rehab, Jaxon can’t blast his way through galaxies to reach her. He can’t slash through armies to kiss her sweet lips. Instead, he has four days to earn one million points by learning real-life skills. And he’ll do whatever it takes—lie, cheat, steal, even learn how to cross-stitch—in order to make it to his date. If all else fails, Jaxon will have to bare his soul to the other teens in treatment, confront his mother’s absence, and maybe admit that it’s more than video games that stand in the way of a real connection. From a bright new voice in young adult literature comes the story of a young man with a serious case of arrested development—and carpal tunnel syndrome—who is about to discover what real life is all about.

Are you a leader who is tired of your time, attention, and energy getting devoured by team drama? Gossip. Infighting. Complaints. Cliques. Drama is what occurs when team members aren't given the tools or support they need to rise above stress, selfishness, and disagreements. Team drama wreaks havoc on organizational health. It damages morale, productivity, engagement, and retention. Drama leads to customer complaints, lost revenue, and a talent exodus. It also sucks the life out of every manager it touches, monopolizing their time and obliterating their spirit. This is why leaders at every level, in every industry, have a duty to build team unity and prevent team drama. No More Team Drama deftly merges research in psychology, organizational development, and employee engagement with the author's practical experience training front-line leaders from all over the U.S. The result is an indispensable manual on improving the quality of interactions between employees in the workplace. Cure for the Common Leader author Joe Mull describes exactly how to transform a group of employees into a band of collaborators committed to working hard, getting along, and wowing customers. In other words: No. More. Team. Drama. -------- "Yes, yes, yes! Joe has smartly and frankly addressed behaviors that suck the energy out of so many at work, providing us all credible, doable fixes. No More Team Drama should be required for anyone serious about creating healthy company cultures!" - Suzanne Malausky, Director of Culture and Talent Management, MedExpress, an Optum Company "Using proven ideas and presented in a real-world, read-it-and-use-it format, No More Team Drama is a treasure trove of resources and expert ideas to improve employee engagement, customer experience, and co-worker connections." - Vicki Hess, Author, Shift to Professional Paradise and 6 Shortcuts to Employee Engagement "I spent 20 years leading professional baseball organizations. I can attest that this book explains simply how to develop a workforce that models the best, most successful teams in sports. Joe mixes Gladwell-like stories and research with real-world experiences, so that you learn how to develop workplace teams that get along, while getting the job done." - Skip Weisman, Author, Overcoming The 7 Deadliest Communication SINs: A New Standard for Workplace Communication

That's why Improv Leadership reveals five skills that will help you unleash your own leadership potential on every unexpected challenge and status quo. Anyone can read books and apply lessons, but only the best can develop what they know to bring out the best in any person or circumstance. These natural leaders understand the key principles of connecting, coaching, and communicating and use these ideas to build strong teams. In Improv Leadership, Stan Endicott and David Miller share five leadership competencies that all great, improvisational leaders have: Story Mining--how to uncover a person's story and let it shape the way you lead them Precision Praising--how to craft praise to inspire, motivate, and even course-correct your team Metaphor Cementing--how to create concrete illustrations to "cement" an idea in someone's mind Lobbing Forward--how to challenge people to look beyond today to what might be in the future Going North--how to use indirect influence to redirect a person's perspective IMPROV leaders apply these five competencies to initiate powerful conversations, create memorable moments with forward momentum, and craft personal coaching strategies that help people, and teams, grow. The five competencies of IMPROV Leadership are not rigid steps to follow. They are fluid and can be applied to any industry of field. You can't predict every challenge you'll face. There's no playbook that covers every decision. But you can cultivate teams of people who love their work (and each other) and who perform at a high level. And you can lead well in any situation.

Our future depends on changing the way we change. But because technology has forever altered our relationship with what’s coming next, the tomorrow we envisioned is too often totally different by the time it arrives—there is no linear path from where we are to where we are going. How can leaders manage disruption when disruption never stops coming? No Point B is a paradigm-shifting look at transforming change into something we do, not for some vague brighter future, but as a practice for making a better world right now. Drawing upon his vast experience in business leadership and social activism, author Caleb Gardner shows how the simple idea of embracing constant change as a core competency for living in a complex world could revolutionize our relationship with modernity and transform our approach to effective leadership. Through stories from his career advising everyone from Fortune 100 CEOs to politicians and political leaders, and advice from experts in sociology, psychology, and management, No Point B proposes nine principles for mobilizing the next generation of effective change leaders, including: focusing on effective communications to navigate our reality-distorting media, building adaptive capability and tackling cross-disciplinary problems, and never resting on our assumptions about how to best navigate the world. The only way we’ll make significant progress on building a better world is by recognizing better is a process of constant adaptation, not an end point. No Point B is the ultimate playbook for a new generation of leaders striving to dig in and give their companies and communities a better future, today.

Do you look forward to your next hospitalization or medical procedure? If not, you are far from alone! Very few people enjoy needing a doctor, physical therapist, or other healthcare provider. Even fewer look forward to needing a hospital, assisted living, home health, or hospice services for themselves or their loved ones. Dread of interacting with the healthcare system has skyrocketed because of the pandemic. Distrust in public health officials and agencies is at an all-time high. Patients have died alone in the hospital because of ongoing COVID-19 policies. Some outpatient health and mental health providers still refuse to see patients in person. Prior to March 2020, patients dreaded the thought of needing healthcare services. Now, several years after waiting for things to get better, they hate the thought of needing these services even more. Reimagining Customer Service in Healthcare helps leaders and clinicians transform their organizations with simple, creative strategies. The results? Previously reluctant, uneasy, and resistant patients, clients, and family caregivers become less stressed and more trusting.
