on diversity in dental
leadershipandtheresponsesto itwithgreat interest.Dr.Lamraised
anumberofquestionsaboutwhy leadership inorganizeddentistry
lacksdiversity,particularly in termsofgender. Theanswers to these
questions are complex. Thousands of books have been written
and papers published in the business and psychology literature on
this topic andwe still donot have solutions to the diversity challenge.
For those interested, I highly recommend reading the September 2013
issue of the
Harvard Business Review
, which—once again—devotes a
significantamountof space to thevital roleofdiversity in the successof
organizations. Another compelling read is the2013bestseller bySheryl
Sandberg, COO of Facebook, called
Lean In:Women,Work, and theWill
toLead
. The insightsofferedareenlightening tomenandwomenalike
