This book assembles many of the great leaders of the senior living
and care industry to discuss their paths to and views on
leadership. Each chapter provides readers with ideas, information,
and inspiration on how to achieve leadership in this dynamic,
mission-focused industry. It includes various strategies for
success, such as promoting meaning and purpose in corporate
culture, making decisions in the absence of perfect information,
managing your personal assets of relationships and reputation, and
finding competitive advantages through technology, training, and
team-building. These leaders also share their experiences
responding to COVID-19 and discuss how the pandemic may change the
future of leadership in the industry. Whether your path starts in
gerontology, nursing, social work, design, real estate, finance,
law, operations, or technology, and whether one pursues work in the
private, nonprofit, or government sectors, this volume provides a
valuable resource for all aspiring and developing leaders in the
senior living industry.
In 1980. a distinguished group of scientists gathered In
Washington. D. C. for an International Symposium on Aging and
Cancer. Among the recommendations of this Symposium was to convene
a future meeting to discuss the molecular basis for
Interrelationships between aging and cancer when the appropriate
scientific knowledge was available. That same year. the 13th
Jerusalem Symposium on Quantum Chemistry and Biochemistry entitled
.Carcl nogenesls: Fundamental Mechanisms and Environmental
Effects.. was held. attended by some 50 International authorities
In this field. At this meeting. It became clear that the
fundamental process of carcinogenesis 15 Intimately associated with
differentiation. which must also be mechanistically related to
aging. It was therefore proposed that the next Jerusalem Symposium
on Cancer could provide the appropriate forum for the study on the
Interrelationship among cancer. aging and differentiation. The
Impressive advances In our knowledge of the nature of the genome
through molecular genetic and physical chemical techniques have now
provided the opportunity to examine the Interrelationships between
these complex biolo gical processes. Through the Isolation. cloning
and rearranging of genes we are able to dissect and manipulate the
genome In a fashion that was unanticipated only a decade ago. At
the same time. the Increase In longevity and the Increased numbers
of Individuals entering the last decades of life where cancer
Incidences are highest raise the profound and practical question of
whether aging and cancer are linked through common mechanisms."
