Reviews
From the reviews: The purpose is to acquaint leaders with the concept and practical usage of LEADS. This is a worthwhile objective, and the book met the author's objectives. The book is written for anyone interested in leading and developing a caring healthcare environment ... . I liked the exercises and I think that it will be a very worthy addition to leadership texts. I have not seen anything else like it. Nicely done! (Cynthia Lee Cummings, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2014)
