Praise for Physician Leadership
“Leadership in healthcare is not a ‘lifetime achievement award,’ but is, in truth, the set of learned knowledge and applied skills with which a leader inspires others to achieve what they believe is beyond their reach, and in many cases, to inspire the future leaders of our professions. We are constantly acquiring new knowledge and building new shills. Physician Leadership is well organized and thoughtfully annotated and will provide a useful framework to build a practical leadership foundation for those on a lifelong leadership journey, as related by one of the most respected leaders in our field.”
—Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, Chancellor, University of Nebraska Medical Center
“I heard Dr. Nichols's voice as I read this—kind and wise. She is an uber‐mentor and friend to our profession. We need her voice now more than ever.”
—Christian T. Cable, MD, MHPE, FACP, FACOI, Director of Graduate Medical Education, Baylor Scott & White Health, Temple, TX
“To call Dr. Nichols a trailblazer would be a gross understatement. In this book, she ‘pays it forward’ with lessons and advice that will guide the aspiring physician leader on a path to success. I highly recommend this well‐referenced work to all such physicians.”
—Boyd Buser, DO, FACOFP dist., Past President, American Osteopathic Association Clinical Professor, University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine
“This personal, provocative, and principled leadership roadmap reveals that although physicians may be smart and educated, under challenging conditions, their knowledge and skills don't necessarily translate to the essentials of leading diverse teams, institutions, and communities.”
—Clinton E. Adams, DO, FACHE RDML, MC, USN (RET), President and Chief Executive Officer, Rocky Vista University
“Karen Nichols, D.O., presents a refreshing, practical, realistic, engaging, and personal guide on becoming an effective physician leader. She challenges the assumption that physician clinical expertise is synonymous with, and easily transferable to, ‘effective’ physician leadership. Physician Leadership presents a comparative analysis of physician skills versus leadership skills that is masterful. Dr. Nichols shares her lessons learned in a personalized manner that is relatable for physicians who aspire to lead. A must‐read.”
—Barbara Ross‐Lee, D.O., M.A., FACOFP, President‐elect, American Osteopathic Foundation
“Dr. Nichols draws important parallels between the physician's comfort in their role as a physician and discomfort in their role as a leader. This honest and approachable book is critically important for the physician who is struggling to find their voice and to contribute to leadership positions both inside and outside
