"Talent is not all there is to achievement.” — Angela Duckworth
In his regular column in Oncology Times, Chair of Physician Leadership and Development and former Chair of Taussig Cancer Institute Brian Bolwell, MD, FACP, explores topics critical to leading cancer centers in today’s healthcare environment. In his third column, he writes, “I think evaluating people, and potential leaders, goes far beyond assessing talent. Most leadership books discuss the importance of emotional intelligence and I agree with that. The ability to see things from the perspective of others, read non-verbal cues, demonstrate empathy, and treat others with respect are the signs of emotional intelligence and should be highly valued.”
