The most important thing for Kathy was to stay true to the vision she had created with her great team and partners.

Script:
Transformational leadership is about leaders engaging their followers and creating a connection that helps them enhance motivation and morality between both parties.
This leadership style makes heavy use of influence as they are often trying to change the norm.
Charisma and referent power play a strong role in making a leader effective.
This leadership approach also looks at the needs of the follower and the greater good of the community.
The Model of Transformational Leadership has 7 main factors. We will focus on the first four that are connected to this type of leadership
Factor 1: Idealized Influence & Charisma
Leaders are strong role models whose followers try to emulate them, deeply respect them and feel proud of the work they do towards their shared goals.
Kathy is battling multiple myeloma and she understands the needs of her followers. Her ability to influence all stakeholders including patients, academic institutions, physicians etc… shows her high level of charisma
Factor 2: Inspirational Motivation
Leaders show high expectations of their followers and motivate them to go beyond their self-interests for the sake of the vision or organization.
Kathy was able to inspire a 1000 patients to share their genomic data with the world. This was possible because she was able to convince them of the importance of their shared vision.
Factor 3: Intellectual Stimulation
The Leader is focused on encouraging innovation. They allow their followers to stay true to their values while still being creative with their problem solving.
Kathy created the CoMMpass study which was all about encouraging scientists and researchers to be innovative in their creation of treatments.
Factor 4: Individualized Consideration
The leader creates a supportive environment for the followers and addresses each one in a unique way through coaching, mentoring, etc…
Kathy has created MMRF Researcher Gateway for scientists, physicians, pharmaceutical companies etc… to work together and give their input without the need of strong IT skills. She has also created a Community version for patients to share their experiences and better understand their disease and treatment.

The word authentic refers to something that is real or genuine.
With all the uncertainty and fear in our world, followers are looking for leaders who are honest and true to their word.
Bill George’s Authentic Leadership approach said that transformational leaders had 5 characteristics.
Purpose (Passion)
Leaders understand their purpose and are able to use their passion for it to influence and motivate their followers.
Kathy had a clear vision of helping all stakeholders find a way to collaborate together and hopefully create innovative treatments in the shortest amount of time.
Values (Behvaiour)
Leaders have strong values about what is right … they influence their followers to have similar values.
Kathy had strong beliefs that the way research was being conducted was broken and did not have the best interest of patients at heart. She has stayed true to those values as she introduces the idea of open-source data.
Relationship (Connectedness)
Leaders open up and share their story with their followers … they show high levels of transparency which helps build trust in followers and increase their motivation levels. (leader will share their story with followers and give to them idea and affirm them work)
One of Kathy’s strategic goals are to find the right partners who believe in finding treatments first before anything else. She was able to share her vision in a very honest way and many organizations were able to trust her and feel connected to her. ( Kathy was able to share her vision in a very honest way and many organizations were able to trust her and feel connected to her. )
Self-discipline (Consistency)
Leaders stick to their beliefs always. This allows followers to have confidence that leaders will always do what they say. It makes it easier for followers to predict their actions and makes it easy to communicate with them. (leaders will do exact thing what he ask to follower do, and It makes it easier for followers to predict their actions and makes it easy to communicate with them. )
Kathy created the centralized tissue bank that now houses over 4000 tissue samples. She did not stop there but continued to stay true to her vision by launching the CoMMpass study.
Heart (Compassion)
Leaders are passionate about their shared vision and are empathetic to their followers and their unique needs.
Her focus on patients being first shows her empathy to those followers. In addition, she does not intervene with pharmaceutical companies who create new drugs based on all the research.
Presenter: Mohammed
Script:
The textbook mentions a concept called the glass ceiling.
This is an invisible barrier that makes it difficult for women to reach the very top leadership positions in an organization.
There are three main reasons for why women are mostly found in lower levels of leadership.
Reason 1: Human Capital Differences
Women apparently have less work experience and training than men. This is because of fewer developmental opportunities and work-home conflict.
They have lower levels of employment continuity because of child rearing and domestic activities which often fall onto their shoulders.
They are given less encouragement in the workplace, lack of mentoring and often given leadership positions with high risk and criticism.
Reason 2: Gender differences in Leadership styles
There is a stereotype of women being better at leading in a more interpersonal way and less task-oriented way.
Women are seen as more democratic and participative in their leadership style
Women are less likely to ask for what they want and be active in negotiations. They shy away from asking for promotions.
Women are more likely to care about the wellness of their followers and behave ethically.
Women are seen as less effective when most of the followers are men.
Reason 3: Prejudice and Biases
Men are seen as Agentic - confident, assertive, independent, rational and decisive
Women are seen as Communal - concern for others, sensitivity, warmth, helpfulness, nurturance
Women who try to lead in a "masculine" way (Being assertive for e.g.) are seen as being aggressive and ultimately poor leaders.
E.g. is Hilary Clinton facing voters wear T-Shirts that say "Iron my shirt" and seeing nutcracker dolls with her head on it.
If a women does obtain a top position, she feels the pressure of representing all women and being used as an excuse if she makes mistakes.
This leads to many women shying away from leadership positions and some change their behaviour to match stereotype
Kathy prioritized her work and started her family late at the age of 36. This was so that she could focus on her career and not be held back by her domestic obligations. It took her 14 years to obtain her position as Executive Director at Searle. MMRF was founded by Kathy and her twin sister. They help lead the way in reducing prejudice and bias towards women in the workplace.
