    ​​​​​​Question of the Week
    Yesterday, our President & CEO Dr. @David Skorton, posted some thoughts to Twitter:

    "Every President's Day, I think about what leadership means to me. Clinical training has turned out to be an asset in leadership: I have had to lead under pressure, under conditions of uncertainty, and one of my biggest learnings: listen before acting." - @DavidJSkorton 

    What leadership lessons have you learned?

    I look forward to hearing from each of you. I'm sure this community has a lot to share on the topic.
