DANIEL PINK Motivation expert and author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Leadership and the New Principles of InfluenceHealthcare leaders at every level today confront two stark realities. First, in these fiercely competitive and endlessly turbulent times, they must do more with less. Second, the old-school management techniques we’ve long relied on to produce results frequently fail. Daniel Pink, best-selling author of Drive, A Whole New Mind and his most recent book, To Sell is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others offers a fresh look at how all leaders must enhance their skills in persuading, influencing and motivating others. He will offer three specific personal traits and identify specific skills that will improve your professional effectiveness.

ATUL GAWANDE, MD Physician leader and author of Better: A Surgeon’s Notes on Performance

Leading the Change: Healthcare in Transition Clinical transformation in an era of healthcare reform is that delicate balance between improving quality, managing risk, measuring performance, and managing cost. Dr. Gawande brings an eloquence and an intellect to these questions that allow him to offer deeply considered and beautifully expressed solutions with implications for healthcare. His three books, Complications, Better, and The Checklist Manifesto, have won national acclaim and he is recognized by TIME magazine as among the world’s 100 most influential thinkers. He is a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship winner, a New Yorker columnist, an author — but, most of all, a physician, with a practitioner’s grasp of the every-day challenges of healthcare delivery. He offers unique perspective about the shift from independent practices to team based delivery in highly integrated systems of care.
