A timely and essential book for physical therapist and physical
therapist assistant students, faculty, and practitioners, as well
as clinical educators, Learning to Lead in Physical Therapy
provides information on identifying, developing, and demonstrating
effective leadership skills for daily practice. Drs. Jennifer
Green-Wilson and Stacey Zeigler explain that in a health care field
that's constantly evolving, leadership skill development must be a
high priority in physical therapy education and practice.
Leadership skills are critical for physical therapists and physical
therapist assistants throughout the course of their careers-in an
informal leadership role with patients, in collaboration and
advocacy for interdisciplinary care, and in formal leadership
positions as they continually adapt to new expectations. With an
evidence-based framework, the authors incorporate a workbook-style
text with written prompts, activities, tools, quotes, and personal
vignettes from practicing clinicians to explore concepts including:
Discovering your individual strengths, developing your leadership
style, and learning to lead through mentorship and coaching
Communicating effectively, incorporating teamwork and
collaboration, becoming an inclusive leader, and leading through
conflict Effecting change through leadership, ethical
decision-making, and serving others This book is easily
incorporated within a single course or across multiple courses
throughout a curriculum. Academic and clinical faculty and
practitioners will also find this book easy to use for personal
growth with its activity-based guidance through each chapter.
Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants have the
unique opportunity to be leaders at all levels-in their practices,
the health care system, and their communities at large. Learning to
Lead in Physical Therapy is an essential text in preparing
students, faculty, and practitioners of all levels for these
crucial leadership roles and responsibilities.
