Books by Linda R. LaGanga

In this second volume for clinicians who have transitioned into administration, we continue the journey to advance management skills. Developing business skills in hiring, human resource management, and financial management will help garner and administer the resources that support a team's important work. Readers will learn to embrace conflict and handle it constructively, as well as deepen skills for developing personal and team member strengths to enhance performance and sustain success as a health care manager.

This book introduces new healthcare managers to the skills they need to transition and succeed in their managerial roles.More experienced managers can benefit, too, from examples and collected insights of other managers who were interviewed and from examples in recent and revisited literature. The author covers both "e;hard"e; business skills and "e;soft"e; people/organizational skills. We draw from books, articles, examples, and managerial experience of the author and colleagues at different organizational levels and throughout healthcare settings and professions.
