    <![CDATA[A &quot;textbook with passion&quot;, Hardwiring Excellence offers a road map and practical how-to guide for creating and sustaining a culture of service and operational excellence.  In this book, author Quint Studer, CEO of Studer Group, draws on his personal experience as a former hospital executive who led two organizations to the top 1% in patient satisfaction and his experience coaching hundreds of healthcare organizations since.    <p>Studer, a nationally acclaimed educator, coach, and thought leader in healthcare today, is a master storyteller, mixing &quot;chicken soup style&quot; stories with personal insight, simple tools, and in-depth recommendations on how good organizations can become great ones.   <p>Based on Studer Group's Nine Principles SM, Quint Studer shows how to retain more employees; ensure better customer service; build strong leadership, align organizational values, goals, and results; increase communication; reward and recognize individual success while also requiring accountability; and move operational performance for better financials, market share, and growth.   <p>At the core of the journey, he says, is a sense of purpose, worthwhile work and making a difference.  When organizations learn how to harness this passion in their employees, they create a success spiral with ever increasing momentum.  <p>In fact, Richard L. Clarke, FHFMA, President and CEO of Healthcare Financial Management Association says, &quot;Quint Studer's Nine Principles of service and operational excellence provide the missing link between people power and strong financials.  It's about courageous leadership.&quot;</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Praise For Results That Last</p>   <p>&quot;Quint Studer is a superb communicator with a deep belief in the power of relationships. His informal tone, sense of humor, and real-world stories bring his business principles to life. Results That Last has a vital, optimistic quality that will keep readers re-reading long after other leadership books have been relegated to a dark corner of the shelf.&quot;<br/>    &#151;Nido Qubein, author of How to Get Anything You Want; President, High Point University; Chairman, Great Harvest Bread Company; and founder, National Speakers Association Foundation    <p>&quot;Results That Last is long overdue and fills a big gap in effective business management. There are legions of books that show us the way to achieve successful results in business, but very few that teach us how to institutionalize success. In reality, achieving success is the easy part. The real challenge is to achieve results that last. Quint Studer not only proves it is possible to hardwire a culture for lasting results, but lays out a simple, logical, and effective way to do so. Anyone who wants to make success a habit needs to read this book.&quot;<br/>    &#151;Bob MacDonald, former CEO, Allianz Life of North America and author of Beat the System: 11 Secrets to Building an Entrepreneurial Culture in a Bureaucratic World    <p>&quot;I have always been fascinated by how the various parts of an organization work together to achieve strategic objectives. In Results That Last, Quint Studer explores the complex subject of performance improvement in a fresh, readable, and easy-to-grasp way. By standardizing certain business practices and leader behaviors, any company in any field can create an environment that allows it to achieve and sustain long-term results.&quot;<br/>    &#151;David F. Giannetto, coauthor of The Performance Power Grid: The Proven Method to Create and Sustain Superior Organizational Performance</p></p></p>]]>
