Review: Patients Come Second: Leading Change by Changing the Way You Lead
Patients Come Second: Leading Change by Changing the Way You Lead by Paul Spiegelman My rating: 3 of 5 stars I wanted to like this book more. The provocative title says a lot.

Moreover, I looked forward to real-life examples to illustrate this idea, and … Continue reading “Review: Patients Come Second: Leading Change by Changing the Way You Lead”
