From the Author
Although this book was written in 1995, I continue to go back to it to remind myself of what I learned during this time period. I wrote the book while conversing with a few "whistle-blowers" who got themselves in serious trouble while trying to reveal serious (potentially fatal) problems in the hospital they worked in. Although I do NOT talk about the conversations directly in this book, I try to discuss what I learned through these marvelous people who were willing to share their frustration with me during their "pain."
During the conversations, it was apparent that few if any people CARE about WHY things go wrong. Those who care are an insignificant anomaly, almost certainly doomed in their careers UNLESS they band together.
This book takes the reader step-by-step through some easy analogies about HOW to make an organization CARE about things that go wrong. The book ends with a plea to form an international organization devoted to supporting the "whistle-blowers" of world.
