How I Went From Doctor to CEO - Rich Scott

Rich Scott is CEO of Genomics England, a UK government owned organisation that partners with the NHS to provide whole genome sequencing diagnostics, helping to find the causes of disease and the development of new treatments.This was a fascinating conversation, taking in Rich's journey from medical school through to leading an organisation employing 500+ people, at the cutting edge of genetic research. We talked about the challenges - and joys - of leadership; how to create a team that's as driven as its leader; the necessity of having a growth mindset (and what that actually means!); and how to handle the pressure and responsibility of being at the top of an organisation.
