Historically, there has been a dearth of leadership instruction specifically designed for surgeons early in their careers, including the resident and junior attending levels, as well as for senior surgeons. Utilizing over 40 years of personal experience, this book focuses on applying the modern teaching tenets of medical leadership, illustrating them with the author's engaging stories as a surgeon, medical director and department chair - both what did and what did not work. Chapters are targeted for the specific issues related to the various stages of a surgical career, with the focus on maximizing successful personal interactions with peers, staff, and superiors. Consistently highlighting the benefits of emotional intelligence, as well as skills in managing up, down and sideways, the topics addressed include basic principles of medical leadership, clinical team leading for residents, operative leadership for new surgeons, successful committee participation, medical school leadership, and both elected and administrative hospital leadership. Selected chapters conclude with "Lessons Learned" - concise summaries of the key points of each chapter for easy reference. Written in both a personal and professional voice, An Introduction to Medical Leadership for Surgeons is an excellent resource for surgeons looking to lead at all levels of their career.

'Successful medical leaders are usually, but not always, experienced and credible clinicians with good people skills, who look beyond the boundaries of their own specialty or institution, who are positive and perseverant and who are prepared to take reasonable risks to achieve their goals. Most importantly they know how to engage their colleagues and effect change. They understand the principles of organisational performance and the balance between professional autonomy and corporate behaviour - ' Sir Bruce Keogh, in the Foreword This book is a comprehensive account of the key aspects of medical leadership. Easy to read and highly accessible, it explores how the medical profession has evolved in tandem with administrative and structural aspects of the NHS: previously reluctant leaders, doctors are increasingly positive about adopting management and organisational responsibility. Assuming leadership roles at all stages of their training and career is a progressively vital component of the definition of a 'good doctor'. Completely up-to-date, this book features exciting and critical developments such as the embedding of the Medical Leadership Competency Framework as a statutory element of the training and development of all doctors, and the establishment of a new Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management. It is highly recommended, inspiring reading for all medical professionals taking on formal leadership roles. Junior doctors, too, will find much of interest.

Leadership in Healthcare opens up the world of leadership studies to all healthcare professionals. Physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals spend thousands of hours studying the science and technology of healthcare, and years or even decades putting into practice recent findings in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and therapeutics. By contrast, the topic of leadership and the traits of effective leaders tend to receive remarkably little attention. Yet no less vital than an understanding of how to interpret diagnostic tests and design care plans is a grasp of healthcare's organizational side, including the operation of multidisciplinary care teams, academic departments, and hospitals. If patient care, education, research, and professional service are to thrive in years to come, we must do a better job of preparing healthcare professionals to lead effectively. Composed of insightful and thought-provoking essays on the key facets of leadership, this book is designed to meet the needs of several important constituencies, including educators of health professionals who wish to incorporate leadership into their educational programs; health professional organizations seeking to enhance their members' leadership effectiveness, and individual health professionals who wish to embrace leadership in their personal and professional lives. This book represents a vital resource for health professionals who wish to enhance the quality of leadership in health professions education, practice, and professional development. In addition to regularly caring for patients, Richard Gunderman, MD PhD MPH brings to this discussion a wealth of personal experience in professional and organizational leadership.
