Stack of Big-Hearted Leadership book by Donn Sorensen

In Big-Hearted Leadership, I wanted to draw on insights from my longtime medical management experience:

Compassion goes hand-in-hand with your competency as a leader. And in this book I show how compassion trickles down into every decision you make as a leader, right down to organizational structure, human resources, production, and all the way to your organization’s bottom line.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK

“My team and I have been able to accomplish some amazing things…[b]ut most importantly, we deliver quality care with a commitment to compassion–and that combination of effectiveness and empathy is what I champion most of all. It is what directs everything I do as I seek to lead the organization I serve.”

BOOK REVIEW:

Whether you’re looking for a succinct yet powerful and accessible business leadership book or a compassionate read that restores your faith in management, Big-Hearted Leadership is the perfect choice.

  • Give your People a Structure They Can Lean On

    Big-Hearted leaders make structure the first priority. If you care about your people and if you care about success, creating a good structure is the first thing you’ll do.

  • Be “Here” and “With”

    There is power in being physically present and accessible, and this is especially key for leaders in today’s disconnected digital age.

  • Be Generous in your Genuineness

    Offer up who you are–nothing more or less. Give people the authentic you, freely and liberally.

  • Possess (and Pass On) Enduring Enthusiasm

    As a leader, having and displaying passion for your organization and its mission is important and it motivates others to find and sustain that passion for themselves.

  • Turn Your Organization into a Force for Good

    Compassionate leadership extends beyond the walls of any individual organization and into the community and the world at large. To truly be a big-hearted leader, it’s important to find ways to use your organization and your energy to make things better for others.
