Dear Readers,In Part 2 of Leadership and Love, we explore how establishing an organization's values and living them out daily in an authentic way are critical. Only by choosing values that promote community, caring and love, and then by engaging in actions that reinforce these values themselves, can leaders create an organization that makes for a better world.Here, we share a mutual narrative to showcase the transformation taking place at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) School of Dentistry so that the successes and failures here can inform you as you lead transformational change. Our paper has segments that tell the story. Segment 1. The invitation to Bryan Thomas, Jr -written by Sreenivas KokaAs I was completing my two-year term as Chair of the MIT Sloan School of Management Alumni Board, I met Bryan Thomas, Jr, recently appointed as Assistant Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at MIT Sloan. I witnessed his presentation to the Alumni Board and it was full of insight, wisdom and passion.I invited him to visit UMMC to see how we might improve our organization to become a more collaborative one. I was delighted when Bryan agreed to visit Jackson, Mississippi for three days and to meet different individuals, many with leadership roles, on our campus and in our School. He was hosted by our Assistant Dean for Student Affairs and Inclusion, Kristin Nalls. My hope for Bryan's visit was that he could offer us perspective and ideas for us to work together better in our mission to serve Mississippi through patient care, education, research and service.

“…Certainly, at home, where we embrace our family as the ultimate community, we are liberated to use the word love, but not at work. So the first transformative step, and it requires courage [2], that a leader must take is to step outside traditional lines and use words like love, community, belonging as part of everyday conversation. Only by discussing these feelings will a leader establish the authenticity needed to convince the team members that she/he is committed.…”

Regardless of the size, type, mission and structure of their organization, leaders are challenged to discern why, how, what and when to change their organization. The challenge is so significant that the field of "change management" is a robust industry in and of itself. Perhaps "managing" change is a fundamentally flawed goal because management is focused on metrics and, by extension, more likely to be focused on outcomes that are easy to measure. This is a flawed approach because change is not created by effective management; change can only be enabled by effective management. Instead, change is created by effective leadership and is about all the things that are hard to measure: Effective leadership is about feelings because feelings drive culture. High performing industry-leading organizations that I have been privileged to be a part of such as Mayo Clinic and MIT, place significant emphasis on a culture that is built around feelings because it is these feelings that lead to community and collaboration. So, what choices do we need to make to make others feel collaborative and to put the team's success before their own success? What feelings create a culture of a high-performing team?

“…The true diversity that prosthodontics will require could be a culture of self-expression of "painting" and "pioneering" the future by a research outcome, which should be required for each person in the era of VUCA. To foster this culture, I firmly believe that the time will soon come when the significance of leadership will be reemphasized, which is why I organized a "Leadership Series" in the Guest Editorial section of this journal [7][8][9].…”
