Quantum Creating Sustainable Value in Health Care, Fifth Edition provides students with a solid overview and understanding of leadership in today’s complex healthcare delivery system. Important The digital edition of this book is missing some of the images or content found in the physical edition.
they love to make broad, grand statements with very little evidence or even examples in the work place. "quantum" this and "chaos" that. i hate it when people are so far up in ideals that they forget reality. felt like the author was trying to fill a minimum word count instead of impart wisdom onto the next generation of leaders.
This joke of a textbook seems to fulfill its true purpose: improving the authors’ abilities to sell bs leadership seminars and related fluff. It is painfully obvious that the authors themselves are the only audience they think of, as they constantly mention concepts and case examples without any context or reference. Be prepared to google if you want to know what the hell they’re talking about.
They preach diversity, and in the same chapter misspell the name of the only Black author they directly reference in the text. They preach out of the box thinking and literally follow it up with “There is no pottery without the potter’s wheel, no painting without a canvas.” One paragraph on chapter 10 has FIVE typos.
They write as though the goal is to intentionally confuse the reader to make the subject matter feel more difficult than it actually is. Some sentences are so overcomplicated to the point they lose meaning.
Despite the name Quantum Leadership, the authors have a tenuous at best understanding of quantum physics and but her it with ill fitting metaphors. I sincerely doubt either has read any meaningful work on complexity or chaos theory, especially as they choose to constantly cite fluff leadership papers instead of the vast body of meaningful work available to them.
