I remember attending the Colgate-Palmolive 200th anniversary celebration at the New York Stock Exchange in 2006, and meeting Raman Bedi for the first time as he joined Colgate-Palmolive’s CEO to ring the trading bell. When we later met in London, Raman shared with me his vision of improving children’s oral health for the world’s most disadvantaged, and his thoughts on why this would require a different approach to leadership. In all honesty, I wondered how realizing this powerful vision could be possible. It was from this conversation that the Senior Dental Leadership (SDL) programme was born: a public-private collaboration between two prestigious academic institutions, King’s College London and Harvard University, and two healthcare corporations, Henry Schein and Colgate-Palmolive. Now, almost 14 years later, the SDL programme has gone from strength to strength, with more than 200 alumni from 47 countries working in innovative and imaginative ways to provide access to care to children in need in their countries. In truth, no individual is born a leader. Although some may associate leadership with a range of skills and operating styles, for the most part, leadership is the accumulation of “good habits,” built and strengthened over time as each of us encounter various opportunities and challenges in our personal and professional lives. This book is a guide for the dental professional who strives to become a more efficient and effective leader who fosters an environment where her or his patients and colleagues thrive and makes a positive difference in the wider community. It has been truly extraordinary to see the tremendous impact that the SDL programme has had on the dental profession over the past 14 years, and, in turn, the positive impact these professionals have had on improving children’s oral health around the world. This book builds on the principles of leadership that have fueled the success of SDL to help ensure that leadership – personal and professional – will continue to thrive in the dental profession as a whole.
