Hardcover. From a visionary leader comes a game-changing guide to help you face your fears, transcend discord and polarization, and drive positive systemic and societal changeWhen Marc Harrison became CEO of Intermountain Healthcare, one of the nations largest health systems, the organization was financially sound and had a sterling reputation for delivering excellent care. But Harrison wasnt content to uphold that reputation; he knew it could be even better. As an IRONMAN triathlete, he had a drive to push boundaries; as a two-time cancer survivor, he had a deeper empathy for patients and a greater sense of urgency. Harrison led an ambitious transformation that has unleashed Intermountains workforce not only to improve the organization but to look beyond it and tackle a range of problems that have plagued both the industry and our broader society. Bucking the prevailing culture of conflict and polarization, leaders at all levels are empowered to convene diverse stakeholders in unorthodox ways to solve problems that affect everyone.In Possibility Unleashed, youll learn what happens when you:Walk in others shoesEmbrace an outsiders perspectiveLook in the mirrorFix what isnt broken . . . yetUnlock the genius at the bedside (or at the front line)Ask What if?Make frenemiesGo upstreamStand up for whats rightColor outside the (red and blue) linesYoull find real-life examples of how this works in actionfrom a liberal, Harvard-trained program manager partnering with a leading gun rights advocate to address the issue of firearm-assisted suicides to a healthcare organization fighting high prices and drug shortages by working with its competitors to establish a not-for-profit generic drug company that benefits all.
