Praise for The Busy Leader's Handbook
“When deciding which companies to invest in, we definitely take a long, hard look at the executive leadership team. However, it goes much deeper than that. How they develop their middle-management team is also crucial to the long-term success of a company. Sometimes, this transfer of knowledge is where companies struggle. This book is not only a great playbook for CEOs, but it would be a very effective tool for creating a strong leadership framework throughout their entire organization. It's a simple, easy read, filled with tactics that could create a strong leadership foundation in any company.”

“Quint is one of the most dynamic leaders on the planet. His new book covers all the bases on how to truly lead in a hyper-efficient world. It is an easy read that offers practical and actionable advice on how to handle almost any situation as a leader. This handbook is one that I will continue to reference and read over and over again in reflection of how I am performing as a leader. It is a book every leader should read, then go share it with their team!
“We brought Quint Studer to Springfield, Ohio, recently to help teach our leaders how to dream bigger. He humbly met with various stakeholder groups, pouring out many of the valuable nuggets shared in his new book. We are forever changed by those visits and thankful for his willingness to share with the world the tools that are now helping us build a vibrant community.”

“Quint has hit the bulls-eye for today's busy leader! A treasure trove of fundamentals and best practices, this book goes way beyond ‘ideas' and ‘motivation' and delivers the ‘how-to' that is so critical to every leader. This book will be a permanent resident in my briefcase for years to come.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Quint in various capacities over the past 25 years and can personally attest that the evidence-based practices outlined in this book can and do lead to astonishing performance improvements! Quint has helped me lead not one, not two, but THREE remarkable health system transformations. First, he served as my COO when I was president and CEO at Holy Cross Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. Next, he acted as a friend and advisor supporting my efforts to lead a major system turnaround during my tenure as president and CEO at Rochester General Health System in Rochester, New York. And today, he serves as a board trustee guiding the transformation work I am again leading as president and CEO at TriHealth in Cincinnati, Ohio.
“The common denominator for success in all three cases was the consistent introduction, adoption, and hardwiring of leadership, employee engagement, and organizational development practices—all underpinned by a foundation of mission, vision, and values—as outlined in this handbook. Without fail, all three organizations experienced remarkable performance improvements across key metrics, including People/Culture, Customer Experience, Quality/Safety, Growth, and Finance. And in every case, these improvements led to national recognition for being a top industry performer, and a model and benchmark for getting healthcare right.
“The Busy Leader's Handbook is a must-read for any leader who's short on time, but long on commitment and desire to develop great teams and organizations that are built to excel.”
—Mark C. Clement
President and CEO

“Congrats to Quint Studer for giving it to us straight. The Busy Leader's Handbook is a ‘must read' for anyone with aspirations to lead people and ultimately an organization.
“I loved Quint's plea for leaders to be more self-aware, to check the ego at the door, and to lead with humility. Over the years, I've seen many talented individuals sidelined by ego and/or their inability to listen.
“Successful leaders will also choose to follow Quint's blueprint for recognizing superior work while also connecting people with purpose—thus creating a positive workplace culture. Simply put, it's ALWAYS about the relationships. No matter if you are dealing with Baby Boomer, a Millennial, or someone from Gen Z—relationships will always pay.
“Lastly, I thoroughly enjoyed Quint's vision for investing in the development of structure, process, and people. A successful leader is an individual disciplined enough to set a vision and expectations while also understanding that people make the ultimate difference. It's pretty simple—great people can make great leaders.
“Again, I applaud Quint Studer for sharing his vast insights and leadership experiences. The Busy Leader's Handbook is a valuable tool on so many fronts.”

“Quint has now done for communities and business what he did for the healthcare community. He's identified simple, high-impact foundational leadership behaviors that, when done correctly, pack a big punch. And he doesn't just tell you the what, he also tells you the how, as the book is filled with tactics to take any leader to the next level. I believe in developing a strong leadership team and empowering them to make decisions. It can be tricky to create a team that moves in unison. A tool like The Busy Leader's Handbook is a great resource for training and making sure everyone is on the same page.”

“My life's work is to help every woman become the best version of herself. A huge part of that is focusing on the ‘big picture' like passion and courage and finding your voice, but you also need a firm grasp of the practical side of leadership. That's what helps you connect with others in a meaningful way—and that's what The Busy Leader's Handbook provides. It's a practical toolkit that can help all women, including the vital group of Millennials I focus on, maximize their potential and power. I want to commend Quint's efforts and impactful work on this book, as with all his previous books. I love that he is driven to help each of us become the best we can be.”

“Because a few years ago I wrote a book about leadership, mentoring, and the basic laws of success, people frequently ask me about the best path to becoming a successful leader. My favorite new answer is, ‘Hang around Quint Studer, and listen.' Fortunately for everyone in the pursuit of a successful leadership career or personal life, you don't have to go find Quint. He has found you.
“In his new book, The Busy Leader's Handbook, Quint shares a wealth of real-time, practical action steps for engaged leaders looking for answers, emerging leaders looking for an edge, and rising high achievers who want a head start. Quint addresses each of the three areas that are so very critical to a leader's success: self-leadership and self-development, employee leadership to maximize employee performance, and organizational leadership
