The Overspray Effect: The Unseen Impact of How You Lead
By James Bathurst, RN, MHA, MBA

Every decision, reaction, and behavior a leader shows creates overspray: unintended consequences that travel beyond the leader's intent and shape people, culture, and performance in ways the leader may never see. Drawing on real-world stories and practical frameworks, retired U.S. Navy Nurse Corps Officer James Bathurst gives leaders the tools to recognize their overspray, reduce its negative effects, and amplify the positive.
Who it’s for: Managers, supervisors, healthcare and military leaders, and anyone responsible for a team.
