Do you cringe at the idea of being a manager in academia? You're not alone, but it's time for a mindset shift.

In this new podcast series on leadership in academia, I'm making the case that becoming a manager isn't just likely -- it's inevitable. In fact, it's a sign that your academic career is growing, your influence is expanding, and your work is making an impact.

In this first episode, I'm laying the groundwork for the series by diving into why academic leadership must include management—and why that's a good thing. Whether you've just landed your tenure-track role or you're directing a major research center, you're already managing people, even if it doesn't feel like it.

If you are a professor seeking to grow as a scholar, leader, and mentor, this series is for you. Tune in to shift your perspective on leadership in academia.
