Best Wishes to the ELAM Class of 2017
On April 22, the ELAM Class of 2017 will gather in Philadelphia for their third and final session. The final week will include segments on Organizational Dynamics, Strategic Career Planning, and Negotiating Skills. This final week also holds the annual Meet the Leaders event, hosting a panel of ELUMs and other leaders, and the annual ELAM Spring Symposium highlighting the Fellows' Institutional Action Projects and bringing the Fellows together with their Deans. The week will end with a graduation ceremony, featuring Alicia Monroe, MD (ELAM '07), provost and senior vice president of academic and faculty affairs at Baylor College of Medicine as the graduation speaker.
It is always a powerful and exciting final week of ELAM,
and we wish the class all the best!
Note that due to ELAM being in session, there will be no ELAM Edge on April 27.
The next ELAM Edge will be May 4.

Harvard Business Review, January 13, 2017:
These days it seems like most people have too much on their plate. Everyone complains about feeling overworked. So how do you tell your boss you simply have too much to do? No one wants to come across as lazy, uncommitted, or not a team player. How can you protect your image as a hard worker while saying uncle?
LinkedIn, March 16, 2017:
Women now make up nearly 60 percent of college graduates in the US, as well as more than 50 percent of graduate school classes in many traditionally male fields, including law and medicine. Yet despite these gains, equality has not been reached in business, especially at the most senior levels.

What Warren Buffett, Talmudic Law, and Toyota Can Teach You About Decisions
Harvard Business Review, March 22, 2017:
There is no shortage of advice for how to navigate power dynamics within organizations - from managing toxic or exceptionally gifted subordinates to dealing with unpredictable and narcissistic bosses. Researchers have devoted entire careers to systematically cataloging the many ways in which those who have power differ from those who lack power with respect to their motivations, behaviors, biases, etc.
The problem is that most of these recommendations tend to focus on the experience of leading or following in isolation, while neglecting the unique challenges inherent in having to do both.
Harvard Business Review, March 24, 2017:
Team dynamics can make or break a meeting. Have you ever been in a meeting where people interrupt each other, introduce new ideas when they should be building on the conversation, and repeat someone else's point just to be heard? These communication issues waste time and energy, and usually lead to more meetings to correct misunderstandings, reiterate decisions, or soothe hurt feelings and interoffice tensions.

Harvard Business Review, March 29, 2017:
Mindfulness is the ability to stay focused, while being aware of your thoughts and surroundings and being able to recognize and move past distractions as they arise.
In our information-saturated workplaces, this mental skill is becoming as important as emotional intelligence and technical skills. Research shows that people spend almost 47% of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they're doing, which impairs their creativity, performance, and well-being.
