Effective leaders need core competencies and experience (e.g. funds flow, managing PnLs, fund raising, managing conflict, recruiting).... if someone had an example demonstrating their ability in those domains, I'd be way more interested than someone with an additional degree.

When interviewing candidates for a leadership role, I learn so much from two questions: 1. What have you built? 2. Who have you developed? Most who got that far have a lot to say on #1, but the best candidates pull away on #2.

A common misconception about pyschological safety is that is about being 'nice'. If the people banging on about
#PsychologicalSafety
actually read the literature rather than making assumptions, they would understand the highest level is *the ability to disagree*. Even robustly, if required.

1. Every patient with a suspected HPB malignancy should be evaluated by an HPB surgeon. The patient deserves an expert opinion. 2. In adults, jaundice is a surgical disease until proven otherwise (that’s easy based on LFT pattern).
