Emmett C. Murphy
 
“E. C. Murphy, LLC was acquired by VHA, Inc. (the Voluntary Hospital Association) to serve our 2,000 plus members. We sought out E. C. Murphy because of its outstanding reputation in the industry for achieving break-through improvement in operational and strategic performance. The Healthcare Financial Management Association awarded Dr. Murphy the Helen Yerger international research award for the most important research in healthcare finance in 1997. In 1994, the U. S. Congress entered the firm's research regarding the relationship between healthcare restructuring and patient care quality to document the importance of its groundbreaking insights. Evidence based, shaped by an unparalleled level of successful experience and backed by Dr. Murphy's record of professional dedication and personal integrity, E. C. Murphy, LLC provides both VHA and our partner, the University Health Consortium - in combination the largest business and healthcare alliance in the world - with world-class guidance and personalized support at a time when it is most needed.”
Thomas Smith, Chairman and CEO, VHA, Inc.

“Emmett, I want to thank you for giving our leaders such a powerful message of service and hope. That’s what Wal-Mart is all about. From one Eagle Scout to another, you did a great job. Hope to see you soon.”
Sam Walton, Founder and Former Chairman, Wal-Mart

“Dr. Murphy teaches the skills that leaders really need, but that no one else teaches. If you want to survive and thrive in a hyper-competitive economy, take his training and follow his advice. Simply put, he is the best.”
Steve Lampkin, Vice President, Wal-Mart

“Dr. Murphy brings a world-class mind and a laser-like practicality to the complex challenges of leadership.”
James Thrall, M.D.; Chair of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital Professor, Harvard University Medical School

“Dr. Murphy has lived the experience of our people at every level, providing the real-world teaching and coaching essential to personal and organizational success. He is trusted and respected by us all because he knows and cares.”
Charles Newmann, Former President and CEO, Hospital Corporation of America: United Kingdom and Europe

“I've never met a manager who hasn't been significantly transformed by one of Emmett’s programs.”
Linda Buchanan, Vice President and Administrator, Kaiser Permanente

“Emmett teaches a high impact combination of cutting-edge ideas and practical hands-on skills. His programs make a tremendous contribution to the success of leaders worldwide.”
Carlos M. Gutierrez, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Former Chairman and CEO of Kellogg

“From Lou Gerstner to the front lines, the key to IBM’s turnaround was selecting, developing, and turning loose the ‘workleaders’ Emmett Murphy so brilliantly defines. Leadership IQ provides the leadership model needed for the twenty-first century.”
Don Walsh, Senior Vice President, IBM

“Leading on the Edge of Chaos is a ground-breaking book. The leadership strategies outlined inside provide integrated leadership practice and ideas implemented successfully through his distinguished career.”
Wilson Greatbach, Inventor of the Pacemaker, National Medal of Technology and National Academy of Sciences award winner

“Emmett correctly - and inspirationally - captures the journey that people like Sitting Bull and, to a lesser extent, me, have taken. It is not an easy journey, but one that makes you grow and face your responsibilities with a new resolve. Emmett, as always, has provided remarkable insight into the process real leaders must go through to achieve, if not immediate success, personal fulfillment.”
John Ackers, Former Chairman and CEO, IBM

“Emmett Murphy has combined a timeless Irish legacy with learnings from past and present heroes to create a wellspring of practical advice for high performance in meeting one’s life goals.”
Len Gray, World-Wide Partner, William M. Mercer Incorporated

“A wise and lovely book. Each chapter in this neatly structured book articulates a positive self-improvement principle, then illustrates it in the life of real (and therefore imitable) persons, while connecting it to a challenging new law. New Murphy states: ‘If anything should go right, I can make it go right.’ Old Murphy (‘If anything goes wrong, it will go wrong’) gets buried here under the triumph of hope over fatalism.”
William J. Byron, S.J.; Former President, Catholic University of America; Distinguished Professor of Management, Georgetown University
