time and stress management
teamwork

Each chapter is like a mini-workshop in each skill set, featuring learner-friendly objectives, self-assessment tools, case studies, real-world individual and small-group exercises, and review questions. As a health care supervisor, you can improve your own leadership skills or mold exceptional leaders and managers among your staff using this highly practical guide in workshops and continuing education seminars.

Get Becoming an Effective Health Care Manager and help yourself and your staff along the journey of becoming and then being effective leaders.

The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) recommends this book as a part of its Medical Practice Management Core Learning Series. It is also applicable to any professional working in other healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics and provider networks.

Special Note to Physicians and other Clinical Professionals: The staff you supervise do not have to know that you are reading books to gain insight into management! Read it at home if you want to keep up appearances - however, do read management books. They really help you strengthen what you already know and learn effectively from others.
