The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, September 25, 2019:

Academic Medicine, Volume 94, Issue 10, October 2019:
Physicians are being increasingly called upon to engage in leadership at all levels of modern health organizations, leading many to call for greater research and training interventions regarding physician leadership development. Yet, within these calls to action, the authors note a troubling trend toward siloed, medicine-specific approaches to leadership development and a broad failure to learn from the evidence and insight of other relevant disciplines, such as the organizational sciences. The authors describe how this trend reflects what has been called the "not-invented-here syndrome" (NIHS)-a commonly observed reluctance to adopt and integrate insights from outside disciplines-and highlight the pitfalls of NIHS for effective physician leadership development.

The Last Word

Harvard Business Review, September 25, 2019:
The U.S. women's national soccer team sued its employer, the U.S. Soccer Federation, for gender discrimination this March - the first known lawsuit of its kind in professional sports. The continuing dispute is a culmination of years of pushing for pay equality and quickly became a media sensation, bolstered by the team's fourth World Cup win, which came earlier this year. As the world watches all 28 teammates band together, there are a number of important lessons we can learn from their fight for equality, especially in the face of opposition from their employer.
