Synopsis

We face many global challenges, including climate change, international tensions, technological instabilities, trade wars, increasing mental health problems, failing leadership, drug problems and national political upheaval. The question is: are our current leaders equipped to handle such situations and make the complex decisions needed to address them?

In Scientists in Every Boardroom, Dr Ruby Campbell will walk you through the unique challenges faced by anyone leading STEMM professionals (STEMM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) and how to manage those challenges effectively. If you are a STEMM individual yourself, this book will help you understand why you may have found it difficult to transition to senior leadership roles, or get to the C-suite or the board level – and it will show you how to change that.

If you are a business leader, board member, senior manager or leader and you are looking to either add STEMM individuals to your team or get the most out of those who are already in your organisation, this book will:

• Demonstrate why it’s crucial to have STEMM professionals on your leadership team

• Help you to better understand the unique qualities of STEMM professionals

• Identify and debunk the myths and biases preventing teamwork

• Show you how to develop their leadership capabilities systematically

• Identify the links between the performance and wellbeing of STEMM leaders, with the performance of the organisation, business and the wider society.
