    Most doctors think leadership is just “being in charge.” It’s not.

It’s realizing you can’t lead everyone the same way—and that your leadership style can make or break your team.

    In this week’s NatRevMD Podcast, Dr. Heather Signorelli talks with Dr. Matt Astin about what makes a true physician leader without sacrificing patient care or burning yourself out.
