Articles of Note

Harvard Business Review, February 10, 2017:
When we're starting out on a new goal, we're full of energy and enthusiasm. We eagerly make changes and take steps in our new direction in the first few weeks. But as time goes on, the newness wears off. Our energy drains, and we lose sight of our goal. Ultimately, we slide back into the status quo.
No matter how sophisticated your strategies to rid yourself of bad habits and create good ones, you're less likely to succeed if you don't track and review your progress frequently. Noting your improvements each day encourages you to keep going. And by identifying where you're falling short, you'll notice patterns and make adjustments, so you won't feel stuck in habits that feel unnatural or aren't producing real change.

Field-tested secrets from super users
 
Modern Healthcare, February 25, 2017:
Ruth Brinkley, president and CEO of KentuckyOne Health, knew few women in executive leadership positions as she was rising through the ranks during her nearly 40-year healthcare career.
Like many senior women managers in the healthcare industry, one of Brinkley's first major leadership positions was as chief nurse executive of University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham. But unlike her female peers who often get stuck in that role, Brinkley continued to advance.
Several factors contributed to her success. Brinkley left the provider space for five years to work as a senior associate at APM/CSC Healthcare, a consulting firm. During that sojourn, she expanded her leadership skills beyond her clinical expertise.



Inside Higher Ed, March 2, 2017:
Recent increases in number of minority administrators don't keep up with demographic shifts, but new study finds broad pay equity.
 
Elizabeth H. Simmons offers advice on how deans, chairs and directors can make academics outside the tenure system feel valued, rewarded, included and consulted.
 

 
AAMC CFAS News, March 3, 2017:
A study in JAMA Internal Medicine elaborated on differences in mentor-mentee sponsorship in male vs female recipients of NIH grants. The study defined sponsorship as a senior leader's advocacy on behalf of a junior person and found that "any sponsorship experience, as well as specific sponsorship experiences, were more commonly reported by men than women, with significant differences between men and women."
 
Inside Higher Ed, March 6, 2017:
University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan and U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have a similar leadership style, writes Charlie Tyson, and public reaction to it says a good deal about how our society pigeonholes women with power.
 
CNN.com, March 8, 2017:
There's a running joke that one has to sport a beard to conduct scientific research in Antarctica.
Except it isn't really a joke, because until the mid-20th century women were widely discouraged from exploring the continent, and the United States didn't allow American women to work in the region until 1969.
But history was recently turned on its head when 76 women with backgrounds in science set sail to the bottom of the Earth.

New analysis looks at differences in scholarly outputs and impacts across 12 countries/regions and 27 fields.
