"Most healthcare organizations aren't failing. They're underperforming — held back by governance structures that were never designed to force decisions to resolution before time makes them instead.
Strategic Leadership When Time Is the Constraint follows Horizon Valley Health System as it confronts steadily declining margins, workforce pressures, and the compounding cost of decisions that are understood but never made. Into this environment comes Bill Ellis, a retired strategist called back by the inimitable Sister Margaret Albrecht to chair a board that is capable of oversight but structurally incapable of enforcement.
Working alongside CEO Hannah Wells and her leadership team, Bill introduces a governance framework built around four practical tools: Decision Windows that make time visible and urgent, the Mission-Margin Map that forces tradeoffs into the open, explicit decision rights that replace consensus with accountability, and a Red Flag mechanism that protects early, incomplete signals before they arrive too late to matter.
The book's central argument is both structural and urgent: decision pace is capacity. The accumulation of unresolved decisions consumes management bandwidth, analytical resources, and leadership attention that could be going somewhere else. At one-fifth of U.S. GDP — with health insurance becoming unaffordable for the families these systems exist to serve — slow governance is no longer just an internal management problem. It is a structural contributor to a cost trajectory that society can no longer sustain.
Strategic Leadership When Time Is the Constraint is the third book in the Strategic Leadership Series and the most operationally specific. It was written for health system executives, board members, governance professionals, and the advisors who serve them — anyone who recognizes the pattern and wants a practical framework to change it."

Diabolically funny and subversively philosophical, Italian novelist Giacomo Sartori’s I Am God is the diary of the Almighty’s existential crisis that erupts when he falls in love with a human.
I am God. Have been forever, will be forever. Forever, mind you, with the razor-sharp glint of a diamond, and without any counterpart in the languages of men. So begins God’s diary of the existential crisis that ensues when, inexplicably, he falls in love with a human. And not just any human, but a geneticist and fanatical atheist who’s certain she can improve upon the magnificent creation she doesn’t even give him the credit for. It’s frustrating, for a god.
God has infinitely bigger things to occupy his celestial attentions. Yet he can’t tear his eyes (so to speak) from the geneticist who’s unsettlingly avid when it comes to science, sex, and Sicilian cannoli. Whatever happens, he must safeguard his transcendental dignity. So he watches—disinterestedly, of course—as the handsome climatologist who has his sights set on her keeps having strange accidents. And as the lanky geneticist becomes hell-bent on infiltrating the Vatican’s secret files, for reasons of her own….
A sly critique of the hypocrisy and hubris that underlie faith in religion, science, and macho careerism, I Am God takes us on a hilarious and provocative romp through the Big Questions with the universe’s supreme storyteller."
