AAPL Publishes 'Quiet Leadership in Medicine' to Bridge Gap Between Clinical Training and Organizational Leadership
American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) has published a new book titled 'Quiet Leadership in Medicine,' written by Kardie Tobb, DO, MS, CPE, FACC, FASPC, FACOI. The book aims to bridge the gap between clinical training and organizational leadership skills, which are often untaught in medical education.
The author, Dr. Tobb, has gained hard-won authority through her experiences in founding the Cone Health Cardio-Obstetrics Clinic and taking on system-wide leadership of Cone Health's Center for Health Equity. In 'Quiet Leadership in Medicine,' she distills these experiences into a framework that any clinician can apply to build programs and change care.
The book is explicitly inclusive, covering the mechanics of building stakeholder coalitions, framing clinical initiatives for administrative audiences, sustaining programs after launch, and leveraging everyday professional moments as the raw material of organizational change. Dr. Tobb writes with authority, having secured competitive grants from various organizations and published over 20 peer-reviewed articles in leading journals.
