Each chapter is supplemented with exercises calling into action the key learning points, making the book a valuable training tool. <p/>The book provides an overview of the continuum of management challenges, from determining the right pathway for successful career entry and progression, to the process of analytic decision-making, to understanding and successfully influencing disparate groups, to navigating new and unfamiliar work environments. The concepts shared have applicability at all management levels and challenge leaders to take deeper dives into the learning experiences offered by the day-to-day challenges they face in their roles. <p/>A Culture of Leadership--Lessons Learned and Shared is also a call-to-arms as the challenges shaping our future become evermore complex and daunting. Only through better leadership preparation and inspiration can we hope to transcend dysfunction and to achieve solutions to the existential challenges we face today and in coming generations.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Don Sipes is a Life Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives.
