Articles of Note

Smart Brief, February 8, 2018:
Recently, I was sitting with a group of leaders who were discussing how difficult it can be to talk about what matters most, particularly when others don't share your view. One woman who had been quiet for quite some time broke her silence and said, "Perhaps we don't share what is really important or meaningful to us because we engage in behavior that gets in our way."
 
Forbes, May 22, 2018:
"I don't want to memorize my speech because I'll come across as too robotic." I hear this myth repeated regularly from the executives I coach as they prepare to give presentations. They're always surprised to learn that I spent nearly 200 hours rehearsing my TEDx talk.
 
LinkedIn, June 11, 2018:
I just finished reading a scholarly article published by D. Scott DeRue and Susan J. Ashford (2010) at the University of Michigan titled "Who Will Lead and Who Will Follow? A Social Process of Leadership Identity Construction in Organizations." As a women's leadership scholar, I've spent years trying to figure out the best ways to help girls and women find their own leadership identities, so they will develop stronger aspirations to influence and lead. This article provided a few new insights for me as I train, develop, educate, and influence women toward becoming both informal and formal leaders (I wish I would have read it sooner!).
 
LinkedIn, June 18, 2018:
In a previous post I discussed the findings of a scholarly article published by D. Scott DeRue and Susan J. Ashford (2010) titled "Who Will Lead and Who Will Follow? A Social Process of Leadership Identity Construction in Organizations." They explored how a leadership identity exists at the individual, relational, and collective levels, and how leadership must be claimed by a leader but also granted by followers. In contemporary settings, leadership is more fluid and these roles can change according to context. This post looks at specific challenges for women when it comes to navigating leadership contexts and how we can continue to support women as they develop their own leadership identities.
 
Linked In, July 5, 2018:
I just finished reading a scholarly article published by Elizabeth J. McClean, Sean R. Martin, Kyle J. Emich, and Col. Todd Woodruff (2017) titled "The Social Consequences of Voice: An Examination of Voice Type and Gender on Status and Subsequent Leader Emergence." This fascinating article explored the impact of gender and voice types on social status and leader emergence. In my view, it extends the conversation I started in last my two LinkedIn articles that focused on women's leadership identity through "claiming" and "granting" (see articles Part I and Part II).
 
The Washington Post, July 9, 2018:
For working women, the news is often demoralizing.
We learn of case after case of gross workplace abuses brought to light by the "Me Too" movement. Among Fortune 500 CEOs, there are about as many women as there are men named John. Women still regularly face discrimination when applying for jobs and at work, continue to earn less than men and are even penalized romantically for career success.
Some new research, however, offers a much-needed dose of encouraging news: If women can overcome early career challenges and establish themselves as high performers, it seems they may actually reap more career rewards than their male peers, according to two recent research papers.
 
Korn Ferry Institute, July 18, 2018:
You're getting the interviews, but not landing the job. Back at square one every time, you do the usual: polishing your resume and finding new ways to say the same old thing. But if you're like most people, you won't do the one thing that could really make a difference in your next job interview.
 
LinkedIn, July 19, 2018:
I just reread a scholarly article by Jessi L. Smith and Meghan Huntoon (2014) titled "Women's Bragging Rights: Overcoming Modesty Norms to Facilitate Women's Self-Promotion" from the Psychology of Women Quarterly. I loved it! Self-promotion for women is such an important and complex topic for a number of reasons. First, women often find self-promotion uncomfortable, so they don't want to do it. And, second, when they do self-promote, they tend to break social norms and often experience some type of backlash. Yet, for women to advance into leadership roles in business, politics, education, and other settings, they must self-promote in some way. So, what is the answer? Smith and Huntoon provide some clues.

Three former Tufts leaders became college presidents on the same day, so what's the secret sauce?
 
Forbes, July 28, 2018:
As a leadership coach, I often see the same leadership challenges arise across industries. There's the challenge of time (there's never enough of it), decision making, navigating organizational politics (which is really a trust issue), creating a shared purpose, communicating across silos and, of course, the dreaded accountability factor (which is typically absent).
 
 
Center for Creative Leadership, Leading Effectively, July 31, 2018:
There are 3 types of leadership cultures, and understanding the difference will help you determine if you have the culture you need for the strategy you've set.
 
You may be familiar with the 70-20-10 rule of leadership development, but do you know the primary source of key learning experiences for managers?
 
 
The Chronicle of Higher Education, August 1, 2018:
Chairs are notoriously stuck in the middle, serving everyone in all directions.
 
AAMC CFAS News, August 3, 2018:
Tokyo Medical University - one of Japan's top med schools - has reportedly doctored test scores of female applicants in a years-long effort to limit the number of women enrollees, reports the Washington Post and the BBC. The school has said it is investigating.
 
Women are still a rarity in surgical specialties, and many are deterred from entering surgical specialties because of a pervasive culture of sexism and stereotypes, reported Modern Healthcare. The article also cited AAMC data showing that the lack of women is starkest in orthopedic surgery, where they make up only 5% of active physicians.

The Last Word

The Harvard Crimson, August 2, 2018:
Portraits of Harvard's former deans line the halls they once walked - at some schools, stretching back decades. The features change, as do the poses and the visibility of brush strokes. But the subjects of the portraits bear certain resemblances: most are white, and most are male.
That will soon change. Come August 15, for the first time in Harvard's history, four of the University's schools will be led by African-American women.
