Through the lens of his daily dealings in leading an academic research fellowship, Dr Marc Reid shares with you his bite-sized thoughts on team management, motivation, public speaking, family balance, writing, mentoring, serial tasking, (not) multitasking, entrepreneurship, imposter phenomenon, and more.
These bite-sized episodes promise one thing:
Whether you’re a leader for the first time or the one hundredth time, you will leave every episode with one prompt or one consideration to take on your own path into leadership.
It’s mainly just Marc. It’s mainly unscripted. We’ll be throwing in the odd narration from my articles and book excerpts. We might even have the odd interview or two. We’re not ready to tie this thing in a neat little bow just yet…
