Back to Healio Key takeaways: Becoming an effective leader requires growth beyond the surgical mindset of diagnosing and fixing problems. A bit of serendipity can lead to important career accomplishments. Effective leadership is more than just solving problems. Prioritizing a growth mindset and developing self-awareness can help ophthalmologists achieve a leadership style that supports other people without simply focusing on efficiency, according to Kathryn Colby, MD, PhD, chair of the department of ophthalmology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. In this episode of Steeped Insights, host Karen Chen, MD, and cohost Fasika A. Woreta, MD, MPH, sat down with Kathryn Colby, MD, PhD, for a cup of tea. \u201cWe’re all surgeons; how do we fix problems? We diagnose and we treat them. The big lesson I learned from my first chairmanship is that that doesn’t work with people,\u201d Colby said in this episode of Steeped Insights, a video blog series produced by Women in Ophthalmology and Healio. \u201cIt\u2019s really a growth mindset, which I think is essential to having a career where you have different \u2018eras.\u2019 So, what you need to be a successful busy clinician is a little different than what you need to be a leader.\u201d Over a cup of tea, host Karen Chen, MD, of Permanente Medical Group, cohost Fasika A. Woreta, MD, MPH, of Wilmer Eye Institute, and Colby discussed how embracing serendipity helped lead to Colby\u2019s pioneering work in developing the Descemet\u2019s stripping-only procedure for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Additionally, they shared pearls for making conscious choices when finding the balance between parenthood and running a busy practice, such as including family in travel plans. \u201cI think Women in Ophthalmology emphasizes the importance of including family in meetings so they can learn and inspire,\u201d Woreta said.
