At age 35, and with little experience as a manager, Mitch Rabkin became CEO of Boston’s Beth Israel Hospital and began an intense process of learning.

Enriched by on-the-job study and reflection on organizations and their management, Dr. Rabkin offers practical examples valuable to all managers and those who aspire to that role.

Reviews
"An engaging book that chronicles how this physician-teacher-leader's experience informed his journey as a successful CEO. Offering real-life reflections and anecdotes, it shares valuable insights illuminating how Dr. Rabkin led Beth Israel Hospital to become one of the leading academic medical centers in the world. As a young hospital executive who learned and incorporated so many of his principles, values, role modeling and actions, I attribute the accomplishments and joy of my own leadership journey to this remarkable physician CEO."

"There is much wisdom here. Dr. Rabkin has written an important book on effective management drawing on more than three decades of experience as a thoughtful CEO. He combines the telling of fascinating stories with a thorough understanding of the literature on organizational effectiveness, resulting in a valuable guide for leaders across all sectors of our economy."

"Being a nurse at Beth Israel was transformative. As a new graduate, I could sense momentum and possibilities under the leadership of Mitch Rabkin and Joyce Clifford. We were expected to be scientific and analytic in the context of our caring mission as nurses. I loved it and thrived there.",

"Dynamics of the academic medical center are complex. Attention to operational detail, respect for tradition, celebration of employees, success in care/education/research, and leadership reminded me why I joined Beth Israel. Dr. Rabkin makes vivid much of the history and culture so important to institutional identity."

"... a must read by anyone aspiring to be, or who already is the leader of an organization -- not just an academic medical center, but any organization. Having been appointed at the uncommonly early age of 35 to take over the reins of a major Boston teaching hospital, and having
remained in that position for over 30 years, Dr. Rabkin is uniquely positioned to tell us what it takes to mold a complex institution into a collaborative "family" focused on a public mission. This is a masterly guide to the temperament, values and humility needed to inspire a widely diverse workforce to achieve outstanding performance."

Great product, reliable quality!
Size: 9.8ft, Size: 9.8ft
I moved into a new place with wood stairs. There’s a landing step that is invisible at night - it just looks like the floor below the step. Of course, one can only determine a stair to be invisible at night after one misses said stair, falling, twisting ankle and foot, lying on floor cursing and crying for help from the husband at 11pm in the dark.
I used painters tape for a couple of weeks. Again, not so helpful at night but there was some distinction. I knew I needed to light this step up to avoid future slips on the invisible step.
I love Govee products. I have a Govee metal tall skinny lamp thing which is where I learned about this gummy, straight, light tube that they make. I really did not want the light strips that were cheaper w the separate little lights on them since this was going under a stair and you could see the underside of the stair clearly from our lower living room whilst sitting on the couch.
This product was SUPER easy to install. I love that you can cut it to size (though if you need exact I would go with the Govee light strips w the little lights there’s more cut areas closer together).
I love that I already have the Govee app and it connected relatively easily (turning things on/off, using airplane mode and unplugging will get you connected).
My 2 gripes about Govee…
1. Please figure out how to make strips that you can cut and connect - I want to be able to configure a corner or different shape besides just a straight line. I also want to be able to connect multiple lines to one adapter (I had a cheap one that could do this but I was afraid it would burn my house down). I paid $$$ for a single step and would like to have been able to use the rest of my strip for another step but instead it’s just useless.
2. I wish it dimmed a little more - the 1% is really bright in the dark. This strip is VERY bright.
Anyways, love my step and it’s safe to take the painters tape off and have it be a normal step.

Bright, with great diffuser
Size: 16.4ft
This is a nice, flexible light with a good diffuser. The tape is sticky, so make sure you want this to be permanent, because it's likely to damage wall paint when removed.
Lot's of color, pattern, and dynamic light options with the software. My last Govee light strip had the green LEDs burn out after a year, hopefully that's not the case here. I will update this review if that happens. These are pretty pricey, so hopefully they're durable!

Awesome lights just know that they are neon colored and very bright!
Size: 9.8ft
These lights were very easy to install. Very much more flexible than rope lights or even desk lights. They look awesome on my cabinets if I do say so myself….. also know that it wherever you put them is where they’re going to stay… for eternity. Adhesive is so strong that when I had to remove one, I had to use a knife and cut the adhesive off of the actual light itself and leave the adhesive behind or it will tear all the paint off of my wall. It’s a good thing that they’re very strong adhesive wise. Just make sure that you know exactly where you’re putting it and that you have measured properly and if you’re going to cut it, make sure that you do that before you start putting it up. Also, a big deal is that these are neon colored and very bright! If you are trying to match something like dream view, for instance (I did) they will not match with the other lights at all not even close.
They don’t even match the desk lights that you see in the video along my countertops. I have to turn the brightness down or it overpower the entire kitchen and other lights.

Super Bright and Even – These LED Strips Are a Game-Changer
Size: 9.8ft
I’ve been using the Govee COB LED Strip Light Pro for a while now, and honestly, they’re unlike any other LED strips I’ve tried. They’re ultra bright—so much that they actually feel like regular overhead room lighting. That’s a big deal if you’re trying to light up a whole wall or create even, direct lighting without harsh spots. I was really impressed by how even and clean the light spread is; there are no visible dots or hotspots, which makes them perfect for wall-washing or under-cabinet setups where you want that smooth glow.
One thing I noticed is that the adhesive is decent, but not super strong. At first, I wasn’t thrilled, but then I realized it’s kind of a good thing—especially if you ever want to remove or reposition them. Since the tape isn’t overly aggressive, it won’t rip up your walls or leave a nasty residue. That’s a win for renters or anyone who likes to switch things up. The packaging felt premium, and the colors pop—whether I’m using them for ambient vibes or cranking them up for brightness. The Govee app is easy to use, and the built-in scenes with smooth animations make it fun to switch up the mood quickly.
Now, here’s the real talk: these lights are expensive, no doubt. But if brightness is your top priority, I haven’t found anything better on the market. They really do stand out for being strong enough to replace traditional lighting in certain setups. The color accuracy is good overall, but when I use DreamView, I notice it’s not perfect—mainly because you can only set 6 zones per strip. That limits how detailed the color mapping can get, especially on longer runs. So if you’re going for ultra-precise RGB sync, it’s not flawless. But for everyday brightness and evenness? These are hands-down the best I’ve used.

Awesome set of lights!
Size: 16.4ft
Great example of you get what you pay for! These lights actually stay stuck where they should unlike cheaper versions that peel off over time. The remote is very easy to control and there is a massive variety of colors and moods to choose from - something for everyone! Adds just the right mood for whatever you’re looking for.
