You need to attract and develop top-quality leaders. How?

"The development of leaders in an organization is not just an executive function-it may be the key executive function. Carson Dye has written a comprehensive, readable book that outlines all the aspects of selecting and developing leadership talent." --Terence F. Moore, President, MidMichigan Health

"Carson challenges us to look mediocrity in the face--a successful organization is one that is vigilant about recruiting talented leaders, not leaders who are content to just get by. The sample position specifications Carson provides are excellent as a stepping stone for leadership development, and will help current leaders make sure that a new leader is 'the right fit' to obtain the right results for the organization." --Susan Hunsaker, CHE, CEO, Broadlawns Medical Center

Although not as visible as the nursing shortage, the shortage of healthcare leadership talent is equally important. The decisions leaders make can have a wide and lasting impact on an organization. Recommended by the American College of Healthcare Executives, this book presents strategies for:

  • identifying superior healthcare leaders

  • recruiting superior healthcare leaders, and

  • retaining superior healthcare leaders

Respected author and speaker Carson Dye, explains why the aggressive development of leaders is the job of every senior executive and provides guidelines for finding and empowering these leaders. End-of-chapter summaries can be used to evaluate your current practices and develop action plans for new approaches. Topics covered include:

  • Creating a compelling place for leaders to work

  • Determining search and hiring strategies

  • Locating executive candidates

  • Improving the interview process

  • Using psychological assessment tools

  • Making the hiring decision

  • Orienting new leaders into the organization

  • Identifying and developing leadership skills

"Winning the Talent War is a must read. It provides sound advice and useful strategies to focus your organization's efforts on attracting, developing and retaining superior leadership talent--now, more than ever, a critical success factor for healthcare organizations undergoing transformational change." --Edgar J Curtis, FACHE, Executive Vice President/COO, Memorial Health System

"For several years now, Carson Dye has been drawing attention to the need for leadership development in healthcare. Having first served in the trenches, his search practice has allowed him a unique vantage point to see the void. As he notes, 'Strong leaders are life-long learners.' We can all learn from this practical book." --Scott A. Mason, D.P.A., FACHE, Managing Partner, SKM Enterprises, LLC

Carson F. Dye, FACHE, is a management and search consultant with Witt/Kieffer Ford Hadelman and Lloyd. Prior to his consulting career, he served as chief human resources officer at St. Vincent Medical Center, Ohio State University Medical Center, and Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Founded in 1933, the American College of Healthcare Executives is an international professional society of 30,000 healthcare executives who lead our nation's hospitals, healthcare systems, and other healthcare organizations. ACHE is known for its prestigious credentialing and educational programs and its annual Congress on Healthcare Management, which draws more than 4,000 participants each year. ACHE is also known for its journal, the Journal of Healthcare Management, and magazine, Healthcare Executive, as well as ground-breaking research and career development and public policy programs. ACHE's publishing division, Health Administration Press, is one of the largest publishers of books and journals on all aspects of health services management in addition to textbooks for use in college and university courses.
