The First-Time Healthcare Manager

By Sushil Kumar

The day you stop being the best clinician in the room and start being the person whose job is to make everyone else better is the most important - and most quietly difficult - move in healthcare. The First-Time Healthcare Manager is the guide every newly promoted nurse manager, team lead, charge nurse, and clinical director wishes they'd been handed on day one.

Written in plain language for people thrown into leadership with little preparation, it walks the real first year: your first 90 days, managing people you used to work beside, the hard conversations you can't avoid, delegation and trust, protecting your team from burnout, running the unit, owning quality and safety, reading a budget, and managing up. Each chapter turns a daunting part of the job into something you can see, understand, and do - and ends with what to do on Monday.

If you've just been handed a team and left to work out the rest on your own, this is the book that helps you lead without losing yourself.
