"What is Leadership?"
I have had a very exciting year as President of WESH. 
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the enthusiastic, hard-working team that has worked with me over the past year, both our board of directors and our committee members.
Transforming the organization from SELAM (Society for Executive Leadership and Academic Medicine) to WESH (Women Executives in Science and Healthcare) has been a demanding but gratifying experience.
I hope all of you will join me at the Spring Executive Leadership Summit in Philadelphia scheduled for May 4th through the 6th, 2012. Further details about the content of the program are included in this issue, but it is safe to say that this will be an exciting three days. Look forward to networking, great conversations, and skill building!
In thinking about leadership, I recently ran across "Six Traits of Great Leaders" at ink.com*. The six traits resonate with me and my experience as President of WESH. Great leaders:
- Surround themselves with smart people
- Demand accountability
- Understand the power of "thank you"
- Truly inspire others
- Are engaged in their surroundings
- Seek out positive energy
It is critical in developing any initiative to have a diverse and "smart" team. Any initiative involves multiple stake holders. A diverse team can help align stakeholders and bring everyone together to execute the vision. It allows the leader to focus and delegate appropriately.
Accountabilityis important in any initiative. Demanding a return on investment (having a strong "business sense") is important for showing your value as a leader. In this age of increasing financial constraint, one needs to set benchmarks or outcome measures at the outset of the initiative and then hold team members accountable for delivering the steps in your action plan.
Showing appreciation or saying "thank you" is often overlooked. Whether it's a public "thank you" or a private personal note, attention to "thank you" is important. The culture of the academic medical center is to constructively criticize presentations, publications, and other academic products. Thus, showing your appreciation for work done by others sustains your workforce and moves the project forward.
Inspiring others requires developing a vision and a stick-to-it-iveness about delivering on that vision as the project moves forward. Truly innovative leaders are able to see beyond the day-to-day operations and envision how they want things to operate in the future.
Engagement in one's surroundings is an important part of connectedness. More and more faculty are recognizing the importance of social capital and that is one of the great values of WESH. WESH helps you to connect with like-minded women in leadership positions across the country and across multiple disciplines. Connectedness within your institution allows you to engage stakeholders, understand the culture, and leverage your constituencies. This includes an ability to think outside the box and to marshal the important elements of the project as you move forward.
Enthusiasm and conveying a positive energy are important to the success of the leader. Success relies on a positive energy. It means investing in the vision and believing that your vision of the future can happen. Complaints and being negative do not engender good will among the people you want to impress.
As I close this year, I am excited about the future. Elizabeth Travis, PhD, will be your next President, 2012-2013, and has exciting plans for the growth of the organization.
Yours sincerely,
Elisabeth J. Shakin Kunkel, MD
President, WESH

| What is WESH? | |
We have decided to rebrand our organization with a new name and new web look. Why? The decision relates to our history. We started as SELAM (Society for Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine) in 1998 when the organization was founded as a 501(c)3 corporation by Drs. Ponjola Coney, Nancy Hardt, and Deborah German. Originally as stated in the Articles of Incorporation (1998) the organization was:
"... committed to the advancement and promotion of women to executive positions in academic medicine and allied health professions through programs that enhance professional and career development and provide networking and mentoring opportunities. The society will support programs designed and dedicated to developing leadership and management skills for individuals interested in careers in academic medicine and allied health professions and will promote collaboration and networking among its members and other organizations that share common goals."
Many of the original members were graduates of the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) Program. Similarity in the names SELAM and ELAM and overlap in membership between SELAM and ELAM by nonmembers and members led to confusion over the years regarding the differences between the two organizations. We wanted to better delineate what we do from other leadership programs and organizations and we wanted to make our resources more widely available to women in leadership positions in healthcare and the sciences. We always have invited women in leadership and the men who support them to join our ranks. Our consensus was that the message was not getting out to a wide enough audience.
In July, 2011, the SELAM Board of Directors met for a weekend of Strategic Planning. New name choices included words that we thought were important and relevant to our members: Executive, Leadership, Women, Healthcare, Science, Medicine, Network, Advancing, and others. We used Scrabble (game) tiles to come up with new name choices and new acronyms. After many acronyms and web searches, WESH (Women Executives in Science and Healthcare) was born. Rebranding ourselves began shortly thereafter.
We are revising our bylaws, our website, and our publications to reflect our new identity. A new logo with new colors was chosen after much discussion and review. The most consistent comment was "No pink please!"
Finally, our Spring Executive Leadership Summit was launched. The program will include inaugural WESH programming on current topics which we feel are relevant and important to women in leadership and the men who support them.
Please join us in center city Philadelphia at the Loews Hotel, May 4-6, 2012, for Renew and Redirect, a program for women in leadership and the men who support them!
Sincerely,
Elisabeth J.S. Kunkel, MD
President, WESH (Women Executives in Science and Healthcare)

| Leadership Pearls |
Leaders: Office Walls Reveal Truths First impressions are so important. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the visuals in your office probably reveal truths about who you are and what you value, no matter what your personal mission statement and professional goals profess. The same rings true for the setting of an organization - framed documents and pictures, trophies, and other office displays may confirm or contradict the formally declared vision, mission, goals, and strategic plans. So when you enter a person's office for the first time for that important job interview or when you chair the search committee to interview candidates for the position of dean, vice president, president, or corporate head of your institution, plan ahead. You should consider going several minutes before the designated time of the interview appointment to look around at the office site for the interview. What do you see that teaches you immediately about the organization and person in that office? What you see in the setting gives a critical impression about the true values of the executive in that office, the staff, the search committee, and often the whole organization. For example, if you as a candidate have an appointment with the President of the organization, are there magazines in the reception area and office of the President that reflect only annual reports, research accomplishments, or other high-power topics? Do the covers of the magazines predominately show images of sports and the high scorers of football, basketball, soccer, etc.?
The "I love me wall(s)"
As you look in the office setting, does each picture on the walls show the President of this organization shaking hands with__________(Pick one: U.S. President, state legislators, Congresspersons, the governor, or other VIPs throughout the country such as the Director of the National Institutes of Health or a director of a national foundation, Hollywood actors, an international leader, etc.)? Are all the pictures on the walls of the reception area or the inner office featuring the President of the organization with only one framed photo of the family and one other of a favorite pet behind the President's desk? Such a display of pictures are signs of an "I love me wall' in an "I love me office".
Are there numerous pictures showing the President of the organization with national and international leaders in a leisure activity such as__________(Pick one: boating, fishing, skiing, golf, tennis, pool, etc.). These images decorate a "What I love wall".
Next to the display of the President at multiple photo opportunities, are the office walls covered with the President's diplomas and certificates recognizing accomplishments and excellence?
Are there also similarly inscribed: crystal awards, ceramic paper weights, vases, silver platters, and plaques on the walls, bookcases, file cabinets, etc.? This setting is a strong example of an "I love me office" with "I love me walls". In other words, while the pictures and documents sum up the C.V. and interests of the President, each displayed document, picture, and memento stress the sole importance of the President in the institution.
The "I love you wall(s)"
On the other hand, if there is a paucity of or no pictures of the President and if the walls, side tables, coffee tables, bookcases, etc. carry pictures of everyone else from the organization receiving or giving awards, participating in town-gown activities, working with global groups in various academic, corporate or service projects, and featuring different people from the community, state or around the world, this setting reflects a different focus. This setting may point to admiration of people throughout the organization, in other words an "I love you office" with "I love you walls".
Essentially, the displayed documents, pictures, and mementos emphasize the importance of people and activities throughout the organization. Such an environment portrays a broad image of individuals, partnerships, and teams involved with different people, in different activities, and encompassing a variety of local and global settings, all highly valued by the organization. However, when there are no pictures that include the President or other executive leaders, the walls lack examples showing good working relationships among leaders and other members of the organization.
Note, if the "I love you walls" feature primarily one or two other people, those visuals may send a message of s/hero worship. If most of the pictures overstate the role of the boss, a viewer may wonder about a strong effort to impress that boss, in other words, an "I love my BOSS!" wall.
A Mélange
When there is a mélange of "I love me walls" with "I love you walls", the result portrays an integrated, multi-faceted setting with leaders and other members of the organization in a variety of roles and relationships. The visual displays in the office setting, not only on the walls, desk, tables, and bookcases, but also on computer screens, Ipods, etc. and social/business network apps such as LinkedIn, Facebook, etc., provide evidence of a person's openness and welcome of diversity. In an "I'm OK, you're OK" kind of way, there is a concrete visual track record that leaders, colleagues and support staff and their activities are valued at the organization.
The mélange of journals, magazines, pictures, and evidence of accomplishments in a setting verifies commitment of a leader and the organization to diversity in people, ideas, and projects. The mélange demonstrates collaboration, discovery, and creative paths to success of the people and the institution. And more in tune with values, a mélange confirms a mission statement and goals that reach out to make life better for others, not just the administrative leader at the helm of the institution.
In Summary: What does your office space or computer/Ipod screen display about you and what you value? What does the décor of your institution project about its values? Does your office space have "I love me walls" or "I love you walls"? Or, does your office space and the setting of your institution provide a mélange of strong, clear exemplars, in other words,"Come, connect and collaborate with us walls"?

Early career faculty time management challenges: The role of the Leaders | |
"...it is mainly through the control of time that academic power is exercised." - Pierre Bourdieu
As a leader in an academic unit (director of a research group or training grant, division chief, department chair, or dean) you have a responsibility to help your faculty succeed. You know the basics: mentoring for research, teaching, and general career development, support for grant and manuscript preparation, and provision of "start-up" (laboratories and other resources) so that research gets off to a good start. Hopefully your institution and/or professional society offers programs to which you can send your early career faculty to enhance skill building in these areas, as well as the "softer" skills of people management, negotiation, and so on.
You may not think that you have a role in helping your faculty use their time more effectively.
You should think again.
In my conversations with faculty members around the country, "too much to do" is a major source of stress. Although life in academic medicine has always been busy, the pressures these days are particularly intense. You know the effect that, for example, current dwindling of funding and constricted hospital budgets have on everyone. Based on a survey of early career academic medical center faculty, Bellini and colleagues(1) reported 21 workplace "stresses" identified by the group. Forty percent were time-related issues. Nearly 80% of the group felt stressed by both lack of work-life balance and "too many time pressures," and nearly 70% were already concerned about burnout. Some of the specific issues will sound familiar:
● too much paperwork,
● not enough time for research and other academic pursuits and
● lack of control over how time was spent.
I believe that senior colleagues, and especially leaders, have a responsibility to attend to these issues. Faculty members who have a clear idea of what they should do, and effective processes for getting that work done will be more likely to succeed, and this success contributes to the success of the unit and institution.
When I began work on this article, my idea was to offer the typical sort of "self-help" advice along the lines of "Seven easy steps an academic leader can take to ensure good faculty time management among..." -- but I soon realized that the issues are too complex for facile solutions.
Here is a nutshell message: simply telling someone to be more efficient does not work.
Now for the long version...
