Warren E. Ross, MD, Senior Client Partner at Korn Ferry will present Making the Move to a Major Leadership Role. During this session, we’ll talk about kinds of leadership roles, how to prepare for them, how to find out about them, and how to navigate the recruitment process. We’ll talk about your CV/resume, the infamous letter of intent, leadership assessment instruments that you may encounter, and assessing your strengths and weaknesses. We’ll discuss acing the interview, what questions to ask, when, and to whom. You’ll hear about the role of the search firm and the search committee. There is no one path to leadership and there’s always a bit of luck/serendipity involved. But hopefully you’ll feel more confident that you can achieve your leadership goals.

This interactive program is designed to aid faculty in making strategic decisions. Faculty present a decision-making scenario and are guided through six questions regarding their current energy state and the impact of the decision on career goals. A decision is made based on the faculty's answers and the relative value to the faculty. A follow-up discussion addresses how to say yes or no and perhaps let go of a current responsibility.
