What defines a true leader in the high-stakes world of lab safety? Join us as we unravel this question with insights from my guest, the founder of the Leadership Institute for Biosafety Professionals. We tackle the nuanced roles of leadership in creating and maintaining a robust safety culture, and share personal experiences that highlight the intricate dance of juggling safety with other managerial responsibilities. Discover whether a leader is shaped by their title or their actions, and how even the most well-intentioned leaders can inadvertently impact the safety protocols within their labs.

In a thought-provoking exchange, we delve into the crafting of personal leadership statements based on the powerful LEADS framework—Listen, Empathize, Adapt, Demonstrate, and Serve. This episode isn't just about theoretical concepts; it's an actionable call to step up and embody the qualities of servant leadership in the lab, regardless of your position. We invite you to reflect on your role in upholding safety standards and consider the profound impact of a well-articulated leadership mantra. It's an episode for those ready to take ownership and inspire a culture of safety and responsibility.
