This book is sincerely dedicated to all of the leaders
who have brought such richness into my life:
To participants in my leadership and professional programs
who have challenged, questioned, and given me countless
opportunities for new learning. It has been fun to work with you!
To my health care colleagues who inspire me with their sense of
commitment, courage, and perseverance in the face
of daunting challenge and obstacles. You are awesome!
To my family and friends for their love, support, and
encouragement. What would I do without you?
