Leading Medical Affairs Through Transformation: The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership in Action

Ready to turn change into momentum? Part 3 of our 3-part MAPS leadership series brings Kouzes and Posner’s Five Practices to life for Medical Affairs. Building on Part 1 (Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence) and Part 2 (applying six leadership styles), this fast-paced, interactive 60-minute session shows you exactly how to:

1. Model the Way: Lead by example under pressure—especially when tight timelines tempt teams to cut corners on standards and integrity.
2. Inspire a Shared Vision: Align skeptical stakeholders behind bold, feasible goals by articulating a clear future state, connecting it to shared priorities, and outlining practical steps to get there.
3. Challenge the Process: Break silos and spark innovation—improving MSL–regulatory flow and learning through small wins.
4. Enable Others to Act: Strengthen trust, collaboration, and confidence so teams contribute powerfully to high-stakes deliverables.
5. Encourage the Heart: Recognize excellence and celebrate wins to sustain performance through demanding cycles.

Through realistic Medical Affairs scenarios, peer insights, and a hands-on simulation, you’ll leave with concrete practices you can apply immediately to elevate team performance, accelerate transformation, and build a resilient, high-trust culture.
