What makes an effective leader? The question is a crucial one for academic surgeons, who must successfully lead teams of people in their offices, laboratories, and above all, the operating room - and ideally, also make their mark as an authority on the national stage... In a major initiative over the past decade, the Department of Surgery has been working to build an environment in which leadership is not just expected, but actively fostered and supported. This culture of leadership draws on multiple components to ease the path to success... Throughout this year's annual report, the department highlights individuals whose work exemplifies the culture of leadership. Driven by mentorship, formal training, their own initiative, or a combination of these factors, they have contributed in meaningful ways.
