Leaders have always faced the challenge of balancing bold
vision with disciplined execution and delivering results without burning people
out, but we're in an era of major disruption, from workforce shortages to the
rise of AI. As change accelerates, the instinct to lean hard into technology
can feel more urgent than anything else. But the best leaders know better. In Why
Not?, Robert C. Garrett, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health, and Jose M. Azar, MD, show readers how to meet this challenge by asking a simple
question: Why not? The book draws on insights from a forty-year career and
brings them to life with personal stories—from a merger sketched at a swim-up
bar to flying scalpels. It provides an integrated system of frameworks built
around the visionary mindset, the art of partnership, big-picture thinking, leading
with heart, and the courage to reject the status quo.
Robert C. Garrett has condensed a remarkable career into a
guide packed with actionable principles for leaders at every level. With an unwavering
look at the triumphs and challenges. The author shares experiences from founding
the first private medical school in New Jersey in sixty years to leading the largest
health network in the state during the time of COVID-19. Alongside these
compelling stories are priceless lessons on navigating complex problems,
driving innovation, and building a legacy of excellence. Garrett's insights, humanity,
and optimism shine through every page, making this far more than a business
book. It is a road map for anyone aspiring to lead with integrity, compassion,
and resolve. Written in a clear, engaging style that blends memoir with
playbook, Why Not? is the question every leader should be asking today.
