“Adaptive Leadership” by Graeme Codrington

Few times in the history of skilled nursing has leadership mattered more than it does today. We’ve survived the urgent side of COVID. Now comes the hard part: navigating our businesses through a dramatically – perhaps permanently – altered healthcare landscape. These are uncharted waters, and there is no playbook. But Graeme Codrington has few equals when it comes to a message best suited for these times. Over thirty years, he has mastered the message of Adaptive Leadership - the art of knowing the right questions to ask, listening to the people around you, recognizing the value of risk, and communicating efficiently and often. It’s an invaluable lesson for any leader in the throes of disruption – and it’s a lesson no SNF leader should go without.

He has written six best-selling books, including “Leading in a Changing World: Lessons for Future Focused Leaders,” (Createspace, 2019).
