Using construction as their metaphor, authors Joe Tye and Bob Dent make a compelling case that an 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 and given the right tools.

Learn how investing in your organization and your people can enable a significant, successful change in productivity; employee engagement; nurse satisfaction, recruitment, and retention; quality of care; patient satisfaction; and financial outcomes.

Review

Tye and Dent give us insightful views into the underpinnings of culture and offer a blueprint for leaders within and beyond healthcare for significant and successful change.

-Michelle A. Janney, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, Indiana University School of Nursing --Executive Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive, Indiana University Health

Once in a while, you pick up a book you don t want to put down. This is one of those! Presented in a conversational style with analogies and business and personal stories, Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare provides a strong case for investing in people. The authors contrasting accountability with ownership this concept alone is worth taking the time to read this gem.

--Editor in Chief, The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing

Editor in Chief, Nursing Forum Faculty, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing

These two authors have created a magnificent work of both practical and transformational knowledge in leadership with the how to that so often is missing from books on leadership. Their approach to culture building makes clear the importance of aligning values with not only words, but actions that leaders must deliver with authenticity and presence. The analogy with architecture and infrastructure is visually brilliant, as we are building cultures to stand the test of time and weather the elements of unpredictability and complexity.

-Cole Edmonson, DNP, RN, FACHE, NEA-BC, FAAN

--Chief Nursing Officer Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, Dallas

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource for healthcare leaders

Joe Tye and Bob Dent have captured the essence of what it takes to build and sustain a culture of ownership. In their book, Building a Culture of Ownership, the authors use the term, “Invisible Architecture” to stress how core values, attitude and self-empowerment lay the framework for the culture.
Tye and Dent’s thought-provoking book pushes the reader to think beyond accountability to true ownership. The great thing about this pair is that they can speak to real-life experience. Joe worked with Bob’s organization to establish a culture of ownership. Bob is able to infuse real life examples of both the struggles and successes an organization experiences during a culture change. I had the pleasure of sitting in on one of Bob’s morning huddles a few weeks ago and can attest to the fact that he is living proof of what it takes to sustain the invisible architecture.
This book is a must read for healthcare leaders from front line supervisors to the c-suite and board of directors. It’s an easy read because it’s infused with case examples and colorful stories that bring the concepts to life. I can see how it could be a culture catalyzing tool when used in a “book club” approach with a group of key stakeholders. There is a beautiful structure for guided discussion because each chapter concludes with a succinct summary of content and a list of thought-provoking questions for the reader to answer.
I highly recommend this book. Kristin Baird, RN, BSN, MHA, CEO Baird Group

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and practical approach to making an impact at work regardless of your role
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017
Hands-on leadership book that easily breakdowns what it means to be a the leader your organization needs, regardless of your role. Chapter goals, great examples, real-worlds stories and thought questions make each section easy to digest and to pause and think about how to apply this to your life. Some of my favorite sections are on the key difference between accountability and ownership, cultural formulas and how to actually build valuable values.

If investing in your organization's culture is important to you, this book is for you. If you want to learn how you can be part of a change in your organization, this book is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars like to make one comment regarding what I believe is ...

I have just downloaded the Kindle version based upon my review of the table of contents -- and this drives my 4 star rating. I will begin reading this weekend. I would, however, like to make one comment regarding what I believe is a glaring absence of specific content on engaging nurses. Content on engaging the medical staff, the board, and the community is included. I'm curious as to why nurses, an equally critical stakeholder, were not included? I find this odd since nurses largely affect patient outcomes and patient satisfaction, each of which translates into revenue for healthcare systems. It may be that content specific to nurses is scattered throughout the chapters, yet I believe not including nurses on the same level with the other stakeholders is very unfortunate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the bookshelf
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2017
This is a very readable book with great ideas for improving the work place. Culture is so often overlooked and yet it's amazing how an explicit discussion of a company's values and attitudes can energize the workforce. I sat down thinking I'd read just a couple of pages and ended up reading almost the entire book in a single seating.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cleverly written book. Thought provoking and insightful.
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017
Outstanding book! Joe and Dr. Dent provide many insightful examples of how culture should look and feel in healthcare organizations as well as in companies outside of healthcare. This is a 'must read' book for all 'leaders', not just those with a formal leadership title ☺️. Enjoy!
