When it comes to leadership, no one is purely self-sufficient. Healthcare leaders do their best work when they are surrounded by wise people who support them, share power and influence, and give them honest feedback from a place of objectivity.

Mentor, Coach, Lead to Peak Professional Performance explains why it is important to build a network of advisors and pay it forward by extending advice and support to others. Author Laurie K. Baedke provides practical guidance on how to build relationships that foster both individual development and organizational success. Readers will learn the distinctions between mentoring, sponsoring, and coaching partnerships and will understand which circumstances are most suited for each type of collaboration. The book is filled with tips and tools on how to make the most of these powerful connections.

Healthcare leaders may need the advice, expertise, and listening ear of others many times throughout their career. Readers of this book will be better equipped to both seek out and provide the invaluable gifts of guidance and support.
