About this listen
In healthcare, even the way we change has changed. Quint Studer's new book helps you hardwire the skills you need to perform at a higher level continuously.
Our industry has always dealt with change. But the environment we're navigating now requires change at a whole different level. We've moved from experiencing episodic change to continuous change and as John Kotter has famously noted, that requires a whole different set of skills and a whole different level of urgency.
In his new book, A Culture of High Performance: Achieving Higher Quality at a Lower Cost, thought leader Quint Studer explains how to leverage the powerful values that have always defined healthcare people passion, fortitude, willingness to learn to meet the challenges of our disruptive external environment.
Writing in his trademark conversational style, he lays out the framework, principles, processes and tactics that hardwire excellence in your organization all the while growing a culture of consistent reliable execution that drives quality higher and higher (and higher!) as it controls costs.
The book reveals:
A look at the latest research that validates which behaviors and practices truly work
The framework and core principles that lay the foundation for dramatic culture change
A simple seven-step model that helps you diagnose shortfalls, develop a treatment plan and hardwire the systems that drive performance
Why transparency and straight communication build trust and foster engagement
How to create and cascade a clear set of objective, weighted, aligned goals that break down silos and hold people accountable for achieving outcomes
A method for ensuring that leaders get the training and development they need
High-impact tactics that get behavior and processes aligned across your organization
The phases of change you can expect and how to help people navigate them
How to connect with head people and heart people (most of us are a blend of both) as you seek to drive change
A Culture of High Performance is the perfect companion to Studer's best-selling classic Hardwiring Excellence. Packed with new research and fresh insights all brought to life with humorous, thought-provoking and inspiring stories, this book is a must have for any leader struggling to shore up margins while sustaining an organization that's a great place for employees to work, physicians to practice medicine and patients to receive care.

This is a book about physician burnout. It's also a book about physician engagement. Why? Because these two concepts are deeply connected. When physicians team up with the organizations they work for to pursue mutual goals, they are far less likely to burn out. And when organizations seek to prevent and treat physician burnout, they go a long way toward getting everyone, physicians included, working together to meet the same goals.

While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

Horrible to Nurses
The take away from this book is that if you actually want to get paid their worth aren't actually good nurses. I felt disrespected by this book. It was obviously written by someone who doesn't believe nurses should actually care about paying their bills and making ends meet.
