Lead Your Hospital Like a Horse Would and Watch Your Herd Thrive

2023 Firebird Book Award Winner: Leadership
2023 American Writing Awards Finalist Business: Management and Leadership

Healthcare is at a crossroads. Covid-19 dramatically increased the pressure on an already stressed system. The goal of providing excellent care has not changed, but with fragmented and exhausted teams, the achievement of that goal is more challenging. Horses, who have the proven ability to organize in herds that bring out the strengths of every individual and to thrive in dynamic environments, can help.

Leaders cannot remove all of the outside pressures on healthcare, but they do have the power to change internal dialogue. Stop “beating a dead horse” in unproductive conversations with your team. Learn more than three dozen horse-inspired concepts that have the power to transform your hospital into a resilient and cohesive herd that uses its energy wisely and is able to shift from merely surviving into thriving.

A gem!

A gem!
I’m not a leader in healthcare. However, this book is a treasure! Based on my personal experiences in hospital settings, I witness to the value ( especially in this post-pandemic era) of the authors. We need “LEADERSHIP” in every field and what better place to begin than healthcare ?I do have some experience working with horses in a rescue setting. I’ve also seen the value of the theory behind herd behavior and development of equine therapeutic strategies & experiences to a more extensive population. This book achieves both objectives by its simplicity in understanding how it can & should be used in many settingsFortunately, for healthcare personnel there are extremely valuable’s e tools contained in this work! I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's so Much Hospital Administrators Can Learn From Horse Herd Dynamics
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
Carrie O'Neill has combined her two passions--healthcare and horses--to create a clear blueprint for a more humane hospital work environment. Using horse herd dynamics as her template, she describes simple mindset shifts that can benefit both staff and patients alike. Our extended family has been through 2 years of repeated visits to multiple hospitals. As a healthcare consumer, I was painfully aware of the differences in staff satisfaction and patient-centric focus from one facility to another. I sincerely hope that hospital administrators everywhere will embrace the sensible management suggestions from O'Neill's herd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Thought Provoking
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023

While this book doesn’t by any means suggest leadership is simple, it does simplify key leadership concepts into practical and actionable strategies. The questions to use with teams are great take-aways that any leader can use to reveal blindspots, build trust and cultivate a supportive work environments. And though the examples are drawn from healthcare environments, the concepts certainly apply for leaders in any role or sector.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for leaders
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023
"Horsepower Your Hospital" is a book designed for hospital leadership, but which offers powerful tools from which anyone in any leadership position can benefit. The common sense inherent in horse sense is built into the tools Carrie O'Neill offers. The utilization of these tools will make it possible for administrators and managers to lead their "herds" to better pastures of outcomes for their respective organizations.
