#039 Do You Need to be a D**k to be a Good Leader? (Series Launch) - a podcast by Mustafa Sultan

Look around and you’ll be surrounded by let’s face it... d**ks. Not just in politics and business — but also in Medicine.

We’re taught lots about the multidisciplinary team and how important each member is — but that’s not always the experience in the real world. What I really want to know is: Do you need to be a d**k to be a good leader?

And not just the knee jerk response of: "of course not". I want to know the ins and outs, and maybe — if sometimes it’s useful to be a bit brash or abrasive — and not always be everyone’s best friend

So I’m on a mission to ask this question to all the people I admire in Medicine. Whether that’s clinicians, academics, policymakers or people in business. People of all backgrounds, races, genders etc. It should be really interesting.

I hope you enjoy the series — and as always reviews on iTunes are worth their weight in gold.
