Quantum Leadership: Advancing Innovation, Transforming Health Care, Fourth Edition is a revised edition of a best-selling graduate level leadership textbook. The text is based on current concepts of leadership, data, and research related to the complexities of leadership.The Fourth edition has been revised to include new elements and ideas around leadership concepts to educate students as well as serve as an outstanding source of reference. This text is a seminal work on the issue of complexity leadership as applied to healthcare. There are very few other references that have the clarity, depth, and detail essential to enumerate this topic in healthcare organizations. It is especially valuable for graduate programs and DNP programs as it provides a foundation for contemporary leadership and emphasizes the role characteristics necessary to lead complex organizations. The new edition will feature an additional chapter on complexity leadership in health reform in order to incorporate the newer requisites of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act in a way that is relevant to leadership development and capacity. The addition of case studies found within each chapter help in the translational work. New application exercises will be made available via "The Quantum Workbook" as a supplement for learning. Additional updates to the text include: chapter podcasts, additional translational and learning material related to chapter case studies. Lastly, all references have been revised and updated to reflect the most current evidence around learning leadership.

This was a required text for an Organizational Leadership course in my DNP program. I have to say that I really enjoyed this text. It provided relevant, current information for the course. As an APRN and not an administrator, I still found the material to be engaging.
This text was required for a DNP course and provided a lot of rambling thought on the chaos of healthcare. However, there was little to no practical information about how to lead in healthcare. In fact this text is almost identical to their earlier version and I find it very sad that authors are taking advantage of students by producing "new and updated" texts every few years. I found the only thing "new and updated" in this text was the cover, the color of the text, and the titles of the chapters. Even the call out boxes were the same; just on different pages. Interesting.I would recommend that you buy the earlier version if you really need it for course work. The content is what counts and you can pretty easily match it up by looking at the table of contents that you can find here on .
"Quantum Leadership" induces the reader to want to engage in transformational leadership to develop better leaders in the field of nursing. Each chapter includes points to lead group discussions and key points. Case studies are also available which serve as good knowledge checks. My only complaint is the writer(s) often reiterate the same point multiple times in one chapter, belaboring the subject to the point of frustration. It is as if they are afraid the reader won't understand the theme of the chapter.
I absolutely find this book really hard to read with lots of rambling. I had to purchase this book for a master's class so I did not have a choice. I would not recommend this book to anyone. The ideas seem far fetched for healthcare at this time.
Excellent resource. I'm thinking about keeping this textbook.
Awesome book! Author is excellent and truely seasoned in leadership
Just as described.
Good Distributor
