Rebecca Godfrey: How does a specialist transform into a leader?
Manage episode 382347601 series 3526489
In this episode we speak to Rebecca Godfrey, the author of The Leadership Vaccine, about transforming specialists into leaders. In The Leadership Vaccine we follow a story of how a company transforms itself - and discovers the five pillars of leadership.
We speak about how the state of leadership in life sciences is improving as the science of leadership is gaining a more prominent position. And how the regulatory requirements of our industry can bring forth creative potential in leadership.
We discuss how leadership may not require technical expertise, and the difference between leading people and leading delivery - and why separating line management from delivery management can be beneficial for specialists. Line management should not be the only way to progress in your career.
Another topic we discuss is how to foster cross-functional collaboration - and how creating a shared responsibility in the leadership team leads to high performance.
Rebecca also takes us through the five pillars of leadership as she describes in the book and why they together make an organization click into place.
