| 6/19/26 | ![]() Live Podcast: Developing Leaders
Who Transform Institutions | Recorded live at the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) program in Philadelphia, this episode of the Lead Change Podcast features Dr. Erika Brown, Associate Director of ELAM, Dean of Faculty Affairs at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, and nationally recognized expert in faculty affairs and leadership development.The discussion explores the value of professional networks, and Dr. Brown’s philosophy that leadership is both a privilege and a responsibility. She concludes by sharing powerful insights on leading change through communication, transparency, trust, and consistency, while reminding listeners that leadership ultimately centers on helping others succeed.Key Take-Home Points1. Leadership Often Begins When Others See Potential in YouSponsors and mentors can identify strengths that you may not yet recognize in yourself. Leadership pathways are often discovered through service and engagement. 2. Great Leaders Start by ListeningConducting a "listening tour" helps uncover institutional needs and opportunities. Effective solutions are built from understanding real challenges. 3. Building Systems Creates Lasting ImpactLeadership is about creating structures that enable others to thrive. Sustainable success requires frameworks, not just individual initiatives. 4. Sponsorship Is Different from MentorshipSponsors actively advocate for opportunities and advancement. A sponsor can change the trajectory of a career. 5. Professional Networks Accelerate GrowthRelationships developed through organizations such as ELAM and AAMC provide lasting value. Leadership development is strengthened through community and collaboration. Generous professional networks create opportunities for shared learning. 6. Leadership Is a Privilege, Not a PositionLeadership roles exist to serve and support others. Authority should be viewed as a responsibility rather than a reward. The most effective leaders focus on helping others advance. 7. Leading Change Requires More Than VisionIdentifying problems is easier than implementing solutions. Successful change depends on communication and stakeholder engagement. Transparency builds trust during periods of transformation. 8. Your Best Changes from Day to DayExcellence does not mean perfection. Leaders should recognize and respect their own limits. Sustainable leadership requires self-awareness. 9. Culture Is Shaped by the People Around You"Iron sharpens iron" applies to leadership development. Surround yourself with people who are optimistic, thoughtful, and growth-oriented. Professional and personal relationships influence your development. 10. The Future of Leadership Development Is Continuous LearningLeadership growth does not end with a fellowship or formal program. Ongoing learning and engagement are essential for sustained success. Leadership development should be viewed as a lifelong journey. Memorable Quotes from the Episode"The pie doesn't get bigger. As one slice gets bigger, other slices get smaller." "Iron sharpens iron." | — | ||||||

Integrity Is the Currency:
Stewardship, Trust &
Building for Tomorrow | In this episode of Lead Change, Dr. Mary Mulcahey sits down with Dr. Alex Ghanayem—orthopedic spine surgeon, longtime Loyola faculty member, department chair, and past president of the American Orthopaedic Association—for a candid and deeply reflective conversation about leadership in medicine.Dr. Ghanayem shares how his leadership journey unfolded organically, never driven by titles or ambition, but by consistently doing the work, earning trust, and saying yes when others saw potential in him. He reflects on nearly 30 years at one institution and how stewardship, culture, and people—not individual recognition—define true leadership legacy.The discussion explores leading through disruption (particularly the post-COVID era), the importance of financial and organizational sustainability, and why leaders must think years—not months—ahead. Dr. Ghanayem emphasizes integrity and trust as the true currency of leadership, the discipline required to stay focused amid constant noise, and the humility needed to empower others and step out of the weeds.Throughout the episode, listeners gain practical wisdom on leadership development, the value of professional societies like the AOA, and why aspiring leaders should stop chasing titles and instead invest in relationships, allies, and the long-term health of their organizations.Key Take-Home PointsLeadership is earned, not planned.Many impactful leaders never set out to lead—they focused on doing meaningful work well and accepted responsibility when trusted by others.Integrity and trust are leadership currency.People may disagree with you, but if they trust your intentions and integrity, productive leadership is possible—even in conflict.Think long-term, not just short-term.Today’s challenges were shaped by decisions made years ago; effective leaders must look 5–10 years ahead and plan accordingly.Culture matters more than structure.A strong, people-centered culture creates resilience, collaboration, and a willingness to go the extra mile—even in challenging environments.Great leaders “become smaller.”Self-awareness, humility, and understanding how your presence affects others are essential to empowering teams.Transition from doer → manager → leader.Leaders must resist staying in the weeds and instead trust, support, and elevate those closest to the work.Focus on what you can control.Noise and distractions are inevitable—discipline and strategic focus allow leaders to move forward effectively.Don’t chase titles—build allies.Leadership success is never achieved alone; relationships and trust built along the way make advancement possible.Professional societies matter.Organizations like the AOA play a critical role in leadership development, education, and safeguarding the future of musculoskeletal care. | — | ||||||
