Three seasoned leaders with varied backgrounds will share insights on how leadership philosophies must adapt to varying organizational cultures, regulatory demands, and operational realities. Attendees will explore practical strategies to cultivate leadership capacity, manage resource constraints, and prevent burnout while promoting ethical and patient-centered research. Real-world stories will illuminate challenges and solutions in building and sustaining successful collaborations among sites, sponsors, contract research organizations, and academia. The session encourages interactive discussion, equipping attendees with actionable tools to strengthen their own leadership impact and foster high-performing, resilient research partnerships.
