سگ‌های وحشی آفریقایی: موفقیت از طریق رهبری گروه: چگونه رهبری گروه را ایجاد کرده و نتایج تحول‌آفرین تولید کنیم

This book is an implementation manual for lean tools and principles in a healthcare environment. Lean is a growth strategy, a survival strategy, and an improvement strategy. The goal of lean is, first and foremost, to provide value to the patient/customer, and in so doing eliminate the delays, overcrowding, and frustration associated with the existing care delivery system. Lean creates a better working environment where what is supposed to happen does happen. On time, every time. It allows clinicians to spend more of their time caring for patients and improves the quality of care these patients receive. A lean organization values its employees and encourages their involvement in organizational initiatives which, in turn, sustains hospital-wide quality improvements. The opportunities for lean in healthcare are limitless. This is not a book to be read and forgotten, nor is it meant to sit on a book shelf as another addition to an impressive but underutilized collection of how-to books. As the name implies, it is a guide; a companion to be referenced again and again as the organization moves forward with its lean transformation.'This is a well-researched, well-written work by an individual who understands the current healthcare environment. It provides a practical and sound understanding of the concepts and application for Lean and Six Sigma.'James R. Bente Vice President, Quality & Organizational Development Memorial Health System'Healthcare quality professionals in the U.S. and abroad could benefit from the content of this book...Comprehensive discussion of lean and its relevance to healthcare, excellent description of techniques and tools, and excellent examples and figures.'Luc R. Pelletier, MSN APRN BC FNAHQ FAAN Editor in Chief Journal for Healthcare Quality COMMENTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS Average Customer Rating (4.5 of 5 based on 4 reviews)'This book is easy to read and demystifies the complex world of Lean by clearly explaining what Lean is, what it does, and the tools used; all in the context of healthcare. Because examples illustrate the benefit of Lean not just to the healthcare industry, but to us as patients, the business case is especially compelling. Instructions address technical challenges and draw from best practices in change management. The guide provides a road map for implementation and seasoned insights that leave one trusting that Lean is very doable, and a necessity.'A reader in Seattle, Washington'I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it provides concrete and detailed examples of Lean principles applied to a healthcare environment. I myself am new to healthcare and am overwhelmed at the wealth of opportunities for improvement. I plan on using some lean principles to demonstrate that improvements don't have to be complex or costly to achieve results'A reader in Montreal, Quebec'This is an excellent resource. I consider it'required reading'for all that are new to Lean / Process Improvement. In my role, I facilitate 5-10 concurrent process improvement projects. This book has been invaluable as a teaching tool. I've asked each project leader to buy, read and study this book. All have commented that it has an easy read, helped them to understand the Lean concepts, and quickly implement the tools. As a group, we're better able to speak the same language and have a common understanding of the tools.brI highly recommended this book. I would also recommend the website (www.leanhospitals.org), wh...'A reader in Wausau, Wisconsin "Organizations continue to undergo rapid, intense change. And the revolution currently underway calls for more than broad participation by organizational members. A marked shift in leadership approach is required, a shift to pack leadership. The current models addressing leadership tend to focus on the energy and will of the head of the organization. True, strong leadership by the head of an organization is desired. But the demands of sweeping social, economic, and performance-cultural changes have moved the leadership focus throughout organizations." "This book outlines an effective leadership approach to create places of spirit and meaning. Using the wild dogs of Africa as a metaphor, a new and emerging leadership style is explored. Pack leaders take on the characteristics of a pack of wild dogs. Individual leaders of "wild dog"-type organizations have a strong sense of self-mastery coupled with humility. They seek enlivened spirits in the workplace, guiding the organization to a co-created vision. The authors also provide a collection of wild dog case studies at the end of some of the chapters to show how the concepts of pack leadership operate in a variety of organizational and team settings. Once readers understand the analogy and develop an appreciation for the traits of the wild dog, they will start seeing wild dogs everywhere!"--BOOK JACKET

African wild dogs get their target 80 percent of the time, whereas the lion and cheetah are successful less than 50 percent of the time. This book translates the success of those wild dogs into actions and behaviors that can make you a more productive leader. The authors developed their analogy during trips to game preserves in Botswana and South Africa over a 7-year period while working on a large-scale change effort with the public sector of the country of Botswana. This book takes the traits, characteristics, and behaviors of the animals that are most successful in survival and translates them to human groups.
