Learning to Lead in Physical Therapy is a timely and indispensable resource for practicing physical therapists and assistants, faculty, and practitioners, as well as clinical educators. It offers guidance on recognizing, cultivating, and exhibiting successful leadership abilities for day-to-day work.

Drs. Jennifer Green-Wilson and Stacey Zeigler clarify that leadership skill development needs to be given top priority in physical therapy education and practice because the health care industry is always changing. Throughout their careers, physical therapists and physical therapist assistants will need to demonstrate leadership qualities in a variety of contexts. These include informal leadership roles with patients, teamwork and advocacy for interdisciplinary care, and formal leadership roles where they will need to continuously adjust to changing expectations.

Using an evidence-based approach, the writers address issues such as the following through a workbook-style text that includes textual prompts, activities, tools, quotes, and personal anecdotes from practicing clinicians:
identifying your unique leadership style, becoming a better leader, and learning how to lead through coaching and mentoring
Being an inclusive leader, embracing cooperation and collaboration, leading through conflict, and successfully communicating
bringing about change via moral leadership, moral judgment, and community service
This book is easily integrated into a curriculum either in one course or several courses. With its activity-based instruction throughout each chapter, this book will also be simple to utilize for personal growth for academic and clinical faculty and practitioners.
