By Business Wire On Oct 9, 2024

First-of-Its-Kind Book Combines Laudio’s Unique Data with Input from Over 100 Healthcare Leaders to Deliver Practical, Evidence-Based Guidance

Laudio, an innovator in frontline leader solutions that drive efficiency and engagement for health systems, today announced the launch of “Leader Inspired Work: Insights and Tools by and for Healthcare Managers.” The book, written by Tim Darling, co-founder of Laudio and President of Laudio Insights, provides actionable guidance for healthcare’s frontline leaders who manage increasingly complex responsibilities and face growing challenges in today’s healthcare landscape.

As the healthcare industry continues to navigate challenging workforce dynamics, particularly elevated strain and turnover on its frontlines, the need for effective leadership has only grown. However, leaders’ spans of control are expanding and the relative share of inexperienced managers is rising seven percent per year based on Laudio Insights data. Concurrently, there has been a gap in focused industry resources to help frontline managers cultivate their leadership skills, gain capacity, and handle new situations with confidence.

“Frontline leaders play a critical role in achieving most health system outcomes,” said Darling. “The pressures today’s leaders face are immense and managers have expressed a desire for additional resources to help them grow and thrive in their careers. With this book, our goal is to further our mission by empowering frontline leaders in new ways.”

Combining the expertise of over 100 healthcare executives and managers from a wide array of health systems with rich Laudio Insights data, “Leader Inspired Work” accelerates the path to effective, efficient, and sustainable leadership. It builds on “leader standard work” concepts, providing a structured approach to 25 key areas of frontline leadership. Alongside actionable frameworks and engaging leader stories, the book offers 160 practical, proven strategies to save time and enhance employee and patient outcomes.

“Equipping every employee and frontline leader with the tools and resources they need to bring their best selves to work each day is at the heart of my role,” said K. Kelly Hancock, DNP, RN, NE-BC, FAAN, Executive Vice President and Chief Caregiver Officer of Cleveland Clinic and the holder of the Rich Family Chief Caregiver Chair, who wrote the book’s foreword. “This book offers frontline leaders an invaluable set of tools, not only to support them in their current roles, but also to help them build rewarding, sustainable careers.”

“Leader Inspired Work” is available on Amazon and as an audiobook on multiple platforms. A digital version is also available from Laudio Insights, along with a range of other supplemental materials, including a book club guide.
