“Informative and well-written, this book will appeal to managers at all levels looking to become effective
leaders and will be especially helpful to those just entering the management arena.’”
—Publishers Weekly
“No one can doubt the power of individuals to make a difference after reading Don Palmisano’s
inspirational book. On Leadership is needed nourishment in a desert of cynicism and selfishness.”
—Philip Howard, bestselling author of The Death of Common Sense

Thanks to Dr. Art Fougner for alerting me to this article. He is a terrific news clipper on TWITTER akin to Dr. Mike Ellis on email. If you follow the two of them, you will get all of the breaking news of medical politics and health policy. I am trying to get Dr. Mike Ellis to do more tweeting!
Those of you who have studied medical liability over the years will find things to agree with and things to disagree with in the article. One obvious missing aspect is the lack of accountability for attorneys who file suits without merit!
