RWL Newsletter #13
Greetings from Durham and happy Friday! My college is hosting an exciting conference today - Shaping the Future: Leadership and Public Policy - here at UNH. We're doing it in conjunction with NNEAHE, the local chapter of ACHE, which I think is a first for us. I'm moderating one of the panels, which is definitely a first for me. I've got a great panel, so I am looking forward to it! I know a few of you who get this letter will be there, so hopefully it's a good time for all.
Anyway, here are this week's recommendations:
Read
What: WSJ, The Culture Ate Our Corporate Reputation, By Lou Gerstner
http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-culture-ate-our-corporate-reputation-1475445084
Why: In case you haven't been following the mess at Wells Fargo, you can catch up on it here. I've been talking with my students in my management class about the importance of corporate culture. This is a great example. Or, anti-example, perhaps of corporate culture and how it is linked to the incentives managers put in place.
Watch
What: Build your 'bench', from the Advisory Board
https://youtu.be/jtnRgMSg1f4
Why: 2 minute video, but makes some good points about the difference between succession management and leadership development. The panel I am moderating today is a discussion about bench strength development and I came across this video during my research.
Listen
What: Health Leader Forge interview with Lucy Hodder, JD, Director of Health Law Programs and Professor of Law
http://healthleaderforge.blogspot.com/2016/10/lucy-c-hodder-jd-director-of-health-law.html
Why: Lucy is a colleague of mine here at UNH, teaching in the law school and working in the Institute for Health Policy and Practice. But before she came to UNH, she had a fascinating career that cycled her from government service to the private sector and back again several times, including stints clerking for a federal judge, working in the NH attorney general's office, and being the legal counsel to the governor. Her private sector work was no less impressive with her building a successful health law practice as well. I was impressed with the importance of service throughout her career when I interviewed her.
