Leadership in a laboratory is not defined only by position, authority or job title. Every person leads through the choices they make, the standards they uphold, the way they influence others and the responsibility they take for the integrity of laboratory results.
This opening webinar introduces the LEAD Laboratory Leadership Model, a practical framework built around four dimensions: Lead Self, Enable Others to Lead, Align the Laboratory System and Develop a Sustainable Quality Culture. Drawing on clauses 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 6.2, 8.1 and 8.2 of ISO/IEC 17025, together with clauses 5.2, 5.4, 5.5, 6.2, 8.1 and 8.2 of ISO 15189, participants will explore how leadership connects with competence, authority, communication, accountability and management system effectiveness. This webinar will challenge every laboratory professional to recognize their influence and consider what it truly means to become a leader of quality.
