This book introduces new healthcare managers to the skills they need to transition and succeed in their managerial roles. More experienced managers can benefit, too, from examples and collected insights of other managers who were interviewed and from examples in recent and revisited literature. The author covers both "hard" business skills and "soft" people/organizational skills. We draw from books, articles, examples, and managerial experience of the author and colleagues at different organizational levels and throughout healthcare settings and professions.
