What People are Saying …

As a physician, I found the book very insightful. Now that most physicians are employed, my profession receives a lot of direction and oversight from institutional leadership. "Grabbing the Next Run - The Heart of Leadership" helped me better understand leadership's side of the puzzle. I can better align myself with common goals for institutional success, not just my success. Now that professionally we have shifted from private practice to being managed institutionally, it is even more important as professionals that we put in the effort and diligence for both personal and institutional success, not just collecting a paycheck.

— Dr. Adrian Curnow, Pediatric General Surgeon

Dr. Reider captures the essence of what true leadership entails and highlights how it's not always a linear progression with self-reflective clarity. That true leadership lies in the heart of the individual and takes shape from there. This is an excellent read for anyone on their career journey, especially those young or mid-careerist trying to find their place in leadership.

Rodney redefines what it means to be a leader in a large, complex organization. His background in driving new levels of performance for a large, integrated health system is complemented by his commitment to spend face-time with staff, patients, and families. His leadership approach allows him to lead a diverse workforce of thousands, while still taking time to serve as career coach for entry-level staff. Rodney's dual-role of navigating complexity and empowering others created a culture of excellence that persists today. I am fortunate to have worked with and for Rodney as he fulfilled the role of listener, teacher, innovator, influencer, strategist, and expert – but perhaps most importantly, as a compassionate person that believes that leadership is fundamentally about doing good for others, no matter their background, title, or skill set. I appreciate he took the time to share his approach in this book for others to learn and greatly benefit.

Rodney is a passionate and inquisitive servant leader who keeps people at the center of all that he does. He is a true strategic leader who is respected by his staff and peers alike, and this perspective and insight is reflected throughout the book.

Rodney has captured both a pragmatic and inspirational view for someone motivated to take their leadership skills to the next rung. If this excellent mix of advice and personal experience had been available to me when I started my career, I would be a better leader today.

Unexpectedly witty and touching, Grabbing the Next Rung: The Heart of Leadership, gives readers an in-depth look at how leaders can crop up in the most surprising places.
