“Required reading for any healthcare leader that wants to set their organization apart from all others. Joe Tye and Dick Schwab bring to life the wisdom of Florence Nightingale. In this fictional story they compel leaders to restore core values like compassion, respect, dignity and ownership as the only way to truly differentiate…and it means more today than ever before.”

—M. Bridget Duffy, M.D., (then) Chief Experience Officer, Cleveland Clinic Foundation
