“…As momentum increases for leadership training to become a part of residency education, our findings can be used to improve feedback practices specifically around leadership skills. 29,30 First, leadership skills should be formally assessed as part of a resident's evaluation of competency, and feedback should be provided from faculty, peers, and team members. For practicing surgeons, 360-degree multisource feedback tools have been used for this purpose, and similar models may be useful for residents.…”

Objective:The importance of feedback is well-recognized in surgical training. Although there is increased focus on leadership as an essential competency in surgical training, it is unclear whether surgical residents receive effective feedback on leadership performance. We performed an exploratory qualitative study with surgical residents to understand current leadership-specific feedback practices in one surgical training program. Design:We conducted semi-structured interviews with surgical residents. Using line-by-line coding in an iterative process, we focused on feedback on leadership performance to capture both semantic and conceptual data. Setting:The general surgery residency program at the University of Michigan, a tertiary care, academic institution.Participants: Residents were purposively selected to include key informants and comprise a balanced sample with respect to post-graduate year (PGY), gender, and race.Results: Four major themes were identified during the thematic analysis: (1) the importance of feedback for leadership development in residency; (2) inadequacy of current feedback mechanisms; (3) barriers to giving and receiving leadership-specific feedback; and (4) residentdriven recommendations for better leadership feedback.Conclusions: Many surgical residents do not receive effective leadership feedback, although they express strong desire for formal evaluation of leadership skills. Establishing avenues for feedback on leadership performance will help bridge this gap. Additionally, training to give and receive leadership-specific feedback may improve the quality and incorporation of delivered feedback for developing surgeon-leaders.

“…Based on experience from the University of Michigan, leadership development programs should focus on 3 guiding principles: learning, feedback and practice. 9,10 Mental models (i.e., abstract representations of actual cases) can be used in lectures and practical workshops to teach fundamental principles, such as leadership styles, developing vision-driven teams, conflict resolution and emotional intelligence -the ability to manage ourselves and our relationships effectively. 11 Learning should be accompanied by formative feedback on a resident's leadership performance, desired leadership goals and avenues for improvement.…”

“…This has been shown to increase accountability within a surgical team and facilitate sustained practice. 9 It is also important to devise a program evaluation framework that assesses changes in outcomes, including selfreported leadership behaviour, organizational impact and benefit to patient outcomes. 12 Other key factors include collecting objective and quantitative data using external raters and comparing participants' performance to those in a control group or a nonintervention population.…”

Millennials rising to leadership positions in plastic surgery is an inevitability. In general, millennials have a negative reputation for being uncommitted and self-centered. The validity of this reputation is called into question in this article. The concepts of leadership and followership are reviewed, and the current landscape of leadership in plastic surgery is analyzed. Millennial traits that are anticipated to impact their rise to leadership in plastic surgery are detailed. Plastic surgeons from the millennials generation are our future leaders. They merit mentoring and training to augment their strengths and improve on their weaknesses, thereby appropriately preparing them for leadership positions.
