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

It’s the ability to inspire people to follow your vision—even on their toughest days. It’s knowing when to speak up, when to listen, and when to repeat yourself until the message sticks. 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.
