New Message from the Director: Sometimes the answer to a challenge arrives in camouflage...
"I am quite fond of the works of the artist Bev Doolittle. She captures the spirit of nature and Native American life in beautiful watercolors, and each work holds the surprise of camouflaging one scene within another. My favorite is called "Calling the Buffalo." How often have we been in the position of this Native American, calling others to our efforts only to discover that what we seek is right in front of us, or as in this painting, languishing at our feet just waiting to be discovered? Such is the nature of some of our most perplexing problems..."Continue reading

Nano Tools for Leaders: Building Resilience: 'Real' Ways to Thrive During Tough Times
Resilience - the capacity to bounce back from setbacks or to thrive during times of challenge or change - is not a fixed trait. It actually grows out of a set of "learnable" behaviors with results that interact to make you and your team less vulnerable to stress. Whether you're dealing with the acute stress of sudden challenges, or the chronic stress of daily life, simple daily actions can increase your resilience.

What Board Directors Really Do in Their Free Time
Much has been written about boards and diversity, especially diversity that is readily perceptible: gender or race, for example. We ourselves have explored gender diversity, in our global surveys of corporate directors, in partnership with WomenCorporateDirectors and Heidrick & Struggles, and in scores of interviews with board members across the globe. We were, however, keen to learn more about another type of diversity-one that has received little attention: the personal pursuits, hobbies and interests of board members.

Drexel's Hidden Treasures: Mary Edwards Walker, pioneer of women in medicine
Mary Edwards Walker, a graduate of Syracuse Medical School in the 1850s, was one of the first women doctors to have a degree. She was the sole female surgeon to serve in the Civil War, during which she was captured by Confederate soldiers and held prisoner for four months, and the first woman to receive a Congressional Medal of Honor for her medical services in the war. Today, she's still the only woman to have received the special honor, which is the highest U.S. military award.
