ELAM 1022
                 
On November 13, ELAM held its annual networking event at the AAMC annual meeting in Seattle. The venue was stunning and the food was delicious - but the real highlight was the company! Over 80 were in attendance, both ELUMs and guests, and ELAM's new executive director, Nancy Spector (ELAM '10) greeted and addressed the crowd. Attendees also received a button declaring "ELAM 1022" - the number of ELUMs in our rich and supportive community. Thanks to all who attended!

Articles of Note
 
Harvard Business Review, October 14, 2016:
A gap exists between the skills that leaders need and the instruction they receive from development programs, writes Deborah Rowland. The best development programs help leaders learn from experience and teach them to manage their mental and emotional states.
 
9 Virtues Blog, November 5, 2016 (from the Academy for Academic Leadership Top Articles):
In last week's blog post, I talked about how important it is for leaders to think critically-to base important decisions on objective analysis, not emotion. This week, I'd like to talk briefly about some ways leaders (or anyone) can develop their critical thinking skills.
 
The Chronicle of Higher Education, November 6, 2016:
To improve a presidential search and transition, college and university trustees must have pertinent data about the institution and a commitment to work closely with whoever is hired, writes Clara Lovett, president emerita of Northern Arizona University. In this commentary, Lovett cites the recent presidential transition at the University of Dayton as a good model to follow.

Knowledge @ Wharton Weekend Edition, November 18, 2016:
It will take more than a century to reach gender parity in the C-suite, and a quarter-century to achieve equality even at the senior VP level, according to a report by McKinsey & Company. "We're moving at a glacial pace," said McKinsey associate Rachel Valentino. "We need to be doing more to address this issue faster." Among the 50 new CEOs hired by Fortune 500 companies over the past year, not one is female.
 
The Huffington Post, November 20, 2016:
When emotional intelligence first appeared to the masses, it served as the missing link in a peculiar finding: people with average IQs outperform those with the highest IQs 70% of the time. This anomaly threw a massive wrench into what many people had always assumed was the sole source of success-IQ. Decades of research now point to emotional intelligence as the critical factor that sets star performers apart from the rest of the pack.
