Last week, Gallup advertised a leadership and organizational development program that I’d imagined coming from Wisdom Works. I felt deflated. Instead of igniting my inner fires of competition or a spirit of collaboration with like-minded colleagues, this news took the wind out of my expectations of myself. It may sound like overreaction, but at the time I really felt like my very model of leadership had let me down. You see, part of what I expect of myself as CEO of Wisdom Works is to be the visionary: advancing new, healthier approaches to leadership for individuals, teams, and entire ... Read More

For me, understanding physician-hospital relations is a never-ending iterative journey rather than a task with a finite beginning and end. As I prepare for this year’s presentation to the ACHE Congress (82 x, Physician Recruiting, Contracting, and Retention Strategies, 3/24/10), I recall my first presentation, where I asked the audience, “What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word ‘tool’?” The most common response was hammer, followed by gun, and then chain saw. For a number of reasons, I felt fortunate to get out of the room alive. I can understand the fascination with ...

Millions of smokers all over the world decide to quit smoking at the New Year, the time we make our resolutions to be healthier for the forthcoming year. But lots break their resolution within 24 hours of making it. I know I did for several years.
The first thing that is helpful is to dispel the common myth that the best way to quit smoking is cold turkey; it is not. You do not have to go it alone, there are many smoking cessation aids out there for you to try, and you just need to find one that suits you.
When I gave up smoking in 2004 I had tried several times before, but did not have much success. I then ...

I’ve never gotten an introduction like that before. I’m not sure what I can say now that will – thank you, Elisa. I want to thank Human Rights First for the opportunity to speak with you this morning, for organizing this day-long conference, and for the group’s undying commitment to the rights and the interests of the world’s most vulnerable citizens.

) There can be no doubt that the explosion of Internet technology started in the 90s has had a huge impact on our culture. For the first time in history, geographically distributed large groups of people have been able to interact in near-real time. Usenet groups and mailing lists, and then the Web, message boards, blogs, social networks, IP voice and video conferencing, have enabled and empowered global communities held together by common interests and world-views instead of geographical proximity. This has permitted a very significant acceleration in nearly all fields of culture and human endeavor: our society has, in a ...

Spivey A 2010. A Matter Of Degrees: Advancing Our Understanding of Acrylamide. Environ Health Perspect 118:a160-a167.
doi:10.1289/ehp.118-a160 Online: 01 April 2010 Until about a decade ago, acrylamide was known only as a constituent of cigarette smoke and of products such as plastics and water treatment chemicals. But in 2002 Swedish scientists were surprised to find this human neurotoxicant and probable carcinogen in many heat-processed foods, especially starchy ones such as potato chips, crackers, and french fries. A flurry of research since then has yielded general advice about reducing formation of acrylamide and ...
