Dr James L Decker Revives the Heart of Leadership in His New Book
In an era when healthcare often feels impersonal and transactional, Dr. James L. Decker, DHA, LFACHE, calls for a return to compassionate, servant leadership in his insightful new book, Reviving the Heart of Leadership. [https://www.amazon.com/Reviving-Heart-Leadership-Empowering-Healthcare/dp/1642258407/ref] Drawing from nearly five decades of experience as a healthcare executive, Dr. Decker offers an honest reflection on the challenges within today's healthcare system and the leadership philosophies that can help restore humanity to the profession.
Reviving the Heart of Leadership [https://www.amazon.com/Reviving-Heart-Leadership-Empowering-Healthcare/dp/1642258407/ref] examines the growing disconnect between healthcare leaders and the people they serve patients, employees, and communities. Dr. Decker highlights how well-intentioned but authoritarian leadership styles may contribute to employee dissatisfaction, weakened loyalty, and declining morale. Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons, he challenges leaders to embrace empathy, integrity, and sound judgment as the foundation for meaningful change.
"It is time for those in leadership positions to change course before we reach the point of no return," says Dr. Decker. "A healthy dose of compassion 'heart' may be exactly what the doctor ordered."
