Praise for the second edition of Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare
“I didn’t think that Joe and Bob could improve on their wonderful book. However, this second edition is even more inspirational than the first. I will continue to read their words each time I’m working on the never-ending journey of building and maintaining a culture of ownership. This book reminds us all that we can’t leave culture to chance and that engagement only comes with ownership.”
–Kathleen D. Sanford, DBA, RN, FACHE, FAAN Executive Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer CommonSpirit Health
Indianapolis—Authors Joe Tye and Bob Dent have revised and updated Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare, which earned a first place American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award in 2017. The fully updated second edition takes readers on a journey from accountability to ownership—providing a proven model, strategies, and practical solutions to help improve organizational culture in the healthcare setting.
In this new edition, the authors expand their coverage of the importance of culture assessment, take a deep dive into the four dimensions of transformational leadership, provide new examples of values and culture in action, and update chapter questions to facilitate discussion. This book shows how investing in an organization and its people can enable significant, successful change.
“A key message in this book is that culture does not change unless and until people change, and people will not change unless they are given tools and structure and become inspired to make the commitment to use them,” said authors Joe Tye, MHA, MBA, and Bob Dent, DNP, RN, FACHE, FAAN, FAONL.
