04.12.26 -- Identify And Manage Leadership Risks Before It's Too Late

DODGING LEADERSHIP POTSHOTS AND PITFALLS

Greetings! For this weekend’s hand-selected content from Life Science Leader, I’m highlighting the metaphorical arrows constantly flying at biopharmaceutical leaders — physical/mental, algorithmic, and financial — along with the shielding techniques recommended by experts.

 

If you’re in a good place with managing the human pressures of company leadership (see the link above), be careful not to get ‘nudged’ off track by a wayward AI; without the right behavioral architecture, the ghost in the machine can run amok, with trial design and pipeline strategy hanging in the balance.

 

If your mental and mechanical houses are in order, there’s always the funding imperative to manage. On the Business of Biotech, Rahul Aras, Ph.D., CEO at Iterion Therapeutics, spills the tea about capital efficient drug development, and how to progress a novel therapeutic with small funding amounts.
