My Pulse Is Not What It Used to Be The Leadership Challenges in Health Care

This is a cleverly presented case study of an ailing health care system, fascinating & innovative reading for anyone concerned with organizational transformation. Following the creative & simple format of a medical record (history, diagnosis, treatment plan, progress report, prognosis), chapters chart the CEO's effort to help his "patient organization" heal itself. Internationally respected professors of management & physicians have made comments like the following: "My Pulse...captures the joys & sorrows, black moments & moments of ecstasy (of leadership), but equally importantly, analyzes the lessons on leadership intrinsic to the CEO role of those committed to non-trivial & timely change." (Andre Delbecq, Ph.D. Professor of Management, Santa Clara University). "All physicians owe a great debt to Irv Rubin & Ray Fernandez, & if enough of us read this book, we can begin to acknowledge that debt by implementing change in the health care system." (Christian N. Ramsey, Jr., M.D., Journal of the American Medical Association). "Look, here's a book every physician manager, executive & organizational consultant should read!" (Warren Bennis, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Business, University of Southern California). To order copies, send $40 per book to: The Temenos Foundation, P.O.
