"Being in a key leadership role for a major public land grant university whose responsibilities include spearheading improvement in population health and well-being, I have long recognized the value of building and sustaining a wellness culture that includes ownership, as it heavily influences people's emotions and behaviors. Joe Tye and Bob Dent do an exquisite job of guiding readers through essential elements of building cultures where people take ownership for best outcomes. Their book should be a staple in every leader's toolbox." -Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk, PhD, APRN-CNP, FAANP, FNAP, FAAN, Vice President for Health Promotion, University Chief Wellness Officer, Dean and Professor, College of Nursing, Professor of Pediatrics & Psychiatry, College of Medicine, Executive Director, the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for EBP, The Ohio State University "As an early careerist and new nurse executive, I think Joe Tye and Bob Dent have created the perfect playbook. This book should be required reading for all new healthcare leaders. The second edition is full of additional insights and stories that are engaging to both well established and emerging leaders. This book helps explain theoretical concepts and provides practical applications for building and sustaining an ownership culture that is resilient in these uncertain times. I have built my career around the motto 'Proceed until apprehended!' and this book will provide you the tools to do the same.

" -Brandon "Kit" Bredimus, DNP, RN, CEN, CPEN, CNML, NE-BC, QMHP-CS, Vice President of Nursing/Chief Nursing Officer, Midland Memorial Hospital, Midland, Texas "Nurse leaders from the HCA South Atlantic Division created a book club program using the first edition of Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare. The ideas in this book, including the concept of Invisible Architecture, helped us formulate a meaningful statement of core values for the division, and many of our hospitals implemented strategies for building a culture of ownership using the book as a guide, several examples of which are included in this second edition. An excellent blueprint to develop and sustain exceptional cultures." -Dr. Nina Evans, DNP, MBA, RN, FACHE, Division Chief Nursing Executive, HCA South Atlantic Division "This book allows one to transition from concepts that are passe to ones that are essential for the next generation of leadership. All workers want the ability to embrace and live out their professional identity. This book captures the essence of building a culture of ownership for unrecognizable outcomes in both practice and academia." -M.
