Importance of Positive Leadership in Today's Health Care Management
By: Josie D. Menelas, MD, MHA

A True Weapon to Conquer the Future

“Importance of Positive Leadership in Today’s Health Care Management” is a tool, a roadmap, a true weapon to conquer the future as the health care industry is becoming a dynamic and more challenging business. Through this book, positive leadership is proved to be vital in this time of change in spite of the challenges surrounding the leaders’ work today, and fundamental in the administration of health care organizations.

The first chapter is the introduction. The second chapter presents a review of the literature. The third chapter describes the methodology used. The fourth chapter constitutes a specific analysis of all the data withdrawn from the books about great leadership’s importance. Finally, the fifth chapter includes a summary, proposed recommendations for resolution, and conclusions that can be drawn.

However, this book is strongly recommended to anyone who wants to be an efficient leader in any field, because it can help develop qualities of good leadership essential for career success.

Book Review
I recently had the privilege and pleasure of reading a profoundly informative book: “Importance of Positive Leadership in Today’s Health Care Management”, written by Josie D. Menelas, M.D., M.H.A. As I read it, one of the first things I noticed was the highly appropriate subtitle: “A True Weapon to Conquer the Future”. This book is packed with excellent information regarding leadership and management, along with their responsibilities in the health care industry. More importantly, from cover to cover, its pages contain an amazing wealth of knowledge that the readers can apply not only to their particular professional endeavors, but also to their roles in life. Whether the reader finds himself or herself serving as a political official, the director of an important health care organization, a highly respected dean of a major university, the pastor of a local church, or even a housewife, he or she will acquire important tools for successfully securing the future.

This is not a book that you read and leave on the bookshelf. This book needs to be kept in a place where it is readily available at all times, for it is an invaluable asset to those in all walks of life. Of all the books I have read on Leadership, this one stands alone in its ability to help the reader become the best leader that he or she can be in his or her individual management position, each with its own unique responsibilities.
