Product Description 
Using construction as their metaphor, authors Joe Tye and Bob Dent make a compelling case that a healthcare organization's invisible architecture-a foundation of core values, a superstructure of organizational culture, and the interior finish of workplace attitude-is no less important than its visible architecture. Further, they assert that culture will not change unless people change, and people will not change unless they are inspired to do so given the right tools.

 Review 
"Being in a key leadership role for a major public land grant university whose responsibilities include spearheading improvement in population health and well-being, I have long recognized the value of building and sustaining a wellness culture that includes ownership, as it heavily influences people's emotions and behaviors. Joe Tye and Bob Dent do an exquisite job of guiding readers through essential elements of building cultures where people take ownership for best outcomes. Their book should be a staple in every leader's toolbox."

"Nurse leaders from the HCA South Atlantic Division created a book club program using the first edition of Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare. The ideas in this book, including the concept of Invisible Architecture, helped us formulate a meaningful statement of core values for the division, and many of our hospitals implemented strategies for building a culture of ownership using the book as a guide, several examples of which are included in this second edition. An excellent blueprint to develop and sustain exceptional cultures."
