What really leads to sustainable business results over time is quality leadership -- not leaders, but leadership. Consistently excellent leadership is the key to long-term success and profitability. But how do you develop it?

 

Results That Last offers sound, proven tactics for turning troubled businesses into consistent moneymakers. How to build a corporate culture that continuously gets results Quint Studer has built a thriving career on helping healthcare companies achieve maximum effectiveness and consistent bottom-line results.

 

Now, in Results That Last, he brings his ideas to the rest of the business world. Studer teaches leaders in every industry how to apply his tactics and strategies to their own organizations to build a corporate culture that consistently reaches and exceeds its goals. He has a gift for helping struggling companies implement and hardwire brilliantly simple fixes that solve larger problems in a self-perpetuating, almost organic way.

 

Written in a conversational, easy-to-read format, each chapter includes compelling real-world stories that bring Studer's prescriptions to vibrant life. Business results that truly last don't come from products and services or particular employees and leaders, no matter how good they are. Products change and evolve; people come and go.

 

In Results That Last, "Master of Business" Quint Studer shows you how to build an organizational culture that develops great leaders today and instills the mechanisms and the mindset that will continue to foster great leadership tomorrow.

 

Studer presents the most effective leadership practices and shows you how to apply them across every group, department, or division, resulting in improved leadership and performance on the individual, group, and organizational levels. The practical and proven tools and techniques Studer reveals are designed to align your goals, behaviors, and processes in a way that virtually guarantees leadership excellence, vastly improved customer relations, and organizational outcomes. The Results That Last methodology provides real, workable solutions that help you:

  • Standardize the behavior and responses of leaders to ensure a consistent experience for employees and customers

  • Align processes to lessen confusion and increase effectiveness

  • Bring leaders in line with organizational goals and values

  • Adopt and master key tactics like Rounding for Outcomes and Managing Up

  • Determine what employees need and want from leadership and how to deliver it, creating better morale and increased personal accountability

  • Employ an objective evaluation system that keeps leaders on track to reach organizational goals and achieve personal excellence

Results That Last helps you develop standardized leadership practices that will survive in your organization much longer than any individual leader or team. The result is better strategy, better employee and customer relations, and bigger long-term profits.

 

With the right practices in place, your organization's success won't depend on individuals. Instead, excellence will be hardwired into your culture--giving you a sustainable, tangible advantage over the competition.

 

"Quint Studer is a superb communicator with a deep belief in the power of relationships. His informal tone, sense of humor, and real-world stories bring his business principles to life. Results That Last has a vital, optimistic quality that will keep readers re-reading long after other leadership books have been relegated to a dark corner of the shelf." --Nido Qubein, author of How to Get Anything You Want; President, High Point University; Chairman, Great Harvest Bread Company; and founder, National Speakers Association Foundation

"Results That Last is long overdue and fills a big gap in effective business management. There are legions of books that show us the way to achieve successful results in business, but very few that teach us how to institutionalize success. In reality, achieving success is the easy part. The real challenge is to achieve results that last. Quint Studer not only proves it is possible to hardwire a culture for lasting results, but lays out a simple, logical, and effective way to do so. Anyone who wants to make success a habit needs to read this book." --Bob MacDonald, former CEO, Allianz Life of North America and author of Beat the System: 11 Secrets to Building an Entrepreneurial Culture in a Bureaucratic World

"I have always been fascinated by how the various parts of an organization work together to achieve strategic objectives. In Results That Last, Quint Studer explores the complex subject of performance improvement in a fresh, readable, and easy-to-grasp way. By standardizing certain business practices and leader behaviors, any company in any field can create an environment that allows it to achieve and sustain long-term results." --David F. Giannetto, coauthor of The Performance Power Grid: The Proven Method to Create and Sustain Superior Organizational Performance

 

As an impetus over the past several years for many health care organizations returning to their roots, Quint Studer not only coaches organizations about creating a culture of excellence but has also done it. Over his 20-year career in health care, Quint moved from the staff level all the way to being COO of Holy Cross Hospital, in Chicago, from 1993-1996 and President of Baptist Hospital, Inc. (Baptist and Gulf Breeze Hospital in Pensacola, FL) from 1996-2000. In March 1999, Inc. Magazine named Quint its Master of Business, the only health care leader to ever receive this distinction. To quote Inc. magazine, “We were skeptical of those advocating cultural change within an organization. Studer has refined a system over the years and brought it to a point where it’s replicable not only in other hospitals but in any service business.”
