Healthcare CEO Creates Leadership Guidebook for Leveraging Disruption

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Intentional Disruption: Leadership Lessons in Healthcare, Business and Beyond by former Kindred Healthcare CEO, Benjamin Breier is now available.

Disruption is an inevitable fact of life and business. In today's unforgiving, fast-moving business world, leaders essentially have two choices: disrupt or be disrupted. Where most take a reactive wait-and-see approach, Intentional Disruption makes the case for harnessing its opportunity.

Breier examines American healthcare through the lens of disruption.

Having built a career on not only surviving disruption, but thriving through it, Breier considers it a viable business strategy. It's true that disruption can be intimidating, but with Breier's insights, leaders can develop a plan of attack for regaining their power, taking control, and identifying the exact right moment to spark change.

Informed by his unique journey, Breier shares proven lessons and takeaways to help leaders in any industry. While the technical expertise necessary to meet these changes head-on will vary from leader to leader, Breier ultimately believes in the power of identifying the right mindset, temperament, and knowledge to confidently navigate your organization to success through uncertainty.  

"This is not a technical business book; it's an emotional leadership survival guide," Breier explained. "It encourages readers to be connected to a mission rather than just a salary. This book will hopefully help incumbent leaders, but was written with an eye towards inspiring emerging leaders of tomorrow."

The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes and is available on Amazon today.
