I'm currently the chief medical officer and chief operating officer at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell. At New York Presbyterian, I'm responsible for the Weill Cornell campuses. It's about a thousand beds on two different sites, and I have the honor of essentially making things go. The chance to talk to patients and to staff really at all levels is one of the most important things that I do. My assistant would tell you that she often can't find me because my favorite thing is to escape and just wander around the institution. Right after I left Princeton, I went immediately to medical school, and there it was pretty clear to me that I wanted to be a surgeon. The field I ended up in is orthopedic surgery, where my engineering background was a tremendous asset. Matthew Larson was a little boy that I knew well who was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age two, and he fought a valiant effort for about five years, but ultimately he succumbed. His family started the Matthew Larson Foundation for Pediatric Brain Tumor Research. Currently, I'm chair of the medical advisory committee. We've been able to raise millions of dollars for this foundation, and we're delighted to be able to sponsor cutting-edge research.ÊI hope that we'll be able to cure this disease so that no children, no family will be affected in the same way that I've seen the Larson family affected. I think surgery has a lot of parallels that I can draw on when I think about leadership. As a surgeon, you are the captain of the ship, but you are not there alone, so you need to have a team with you. You need to delegate, otherwise you won't be successful; that patient won't make it. Now, you have got to be transparent and explain to people what you need done, because no one can understand completely what you, as the surgeon, are thinking. But you have got to be willing and able to be decisive. You know, in an O.R., the patient's not going to make it if you just stand there. And similarly, as a leader, sometimes you don't have all the information that you want. You have got to be willing to say, "I am going to go with the best information that I have. I am going to make the best decision that I can. And if we were wrong we'll admit it and we'll fix it but we won't just stand there." My name is Laura Forese, and I'm a Princeton Engineer.
