We face many global challenges, including climate change, international tensions, technological instabilities, trade wars, increasing mental health problems, failing leadership, drug problems and national political upheaval. The question is: are our current leaders equipped to handle such situations and make the complex decisions needed to address them?

In Scientists in Every Boardroom, Dr Ruby Campbell will walk you through the unique challenges faced by anyone leading STEMM professionals (STEMM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) and how to manage those challenges effectively. If you are a STEMM individual yourself, this book will help you understand why you may have found it difficult to transition to senior leadership roles, or get to the C-suite or the board level – and it will show you how to change that.

If you are a business leader, board member, senior manager or leader and you are looking to either add STEMM individuals to your team or get the most out of those who are already in your organisation, this book will:

• Demonstrate why it’s crucial to have STEMM professionals on your leadership team

• Help you to better understand the unique qualities of STEMM professionals

• Identify and debunk the myths and biases preventing teamwork

• Show you how to develop their leadership capabilities systematically

• Identify the links between the performance and wellbeing of STEMM leaders, with the performance of the organisation, business and the wider society.

Industry Reviews

“Now more than ever does business need rigorous, evidence-based thinking to guide them and society through the crisis of ideologically driven drivel that passes for much political and economic thinking from our supposed leaders. In an accessible, informed fashion, this book with help business do just that. Highly recommended.”
- Professor Anthony M Grant, Director, Coaching Psychology Unit, University of Sydney

“This is an important, practical book and one that I would recommend every board puts on its reading list. Fake news is not just confined to the political daily news. Counter-factual information (counter-knowledge) in organisations causes immense damage, results in bad decisions, is costly, and is more common than many organisations would wish to admit. Ruby Campbell’s call for greater evidence-based practice is not only timely but one that needs to be taken seriously in all organisations. The lessons and techniques contained in this book should be written on every organisation’s walls.”
- David Wilkinson, Chief Editor, The Oxford Review

“To secure Australia’s health and economy into the future, the leadership of women and men in STEMM is vital. Scientists in Every Boardroom provides much-needed inspiration for all professionals working in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine.”
- Rozalina Schulze, Founder and CEO, Health Industry Hub

“The need for systemic thinking and leadership to address the world’s ‘wicked’ problems has never been greater. Ruby Campbell has hit the proverbial ‘nail on the head’: declining trust in traditional institutions, a world crying out for rational and ethical leadership and an impending tidal wave ready to sweep us away if we don’t change. More than that, however, Ruby has set out a cohesive and readily understood way to address the issues. This book is an investment well worth making!”
- Chris Whelan, Director, The Transformation Initiative

“Such an insightful read into what leadership needs to evolve into. Covering multiple and often forgotten elements of what it will take to be a successful leader for the future, this book clearly details the logical steps to transition into one while providing scientific evidence and data in an easy-to-read format to support the concepts. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to make a genuine difference moving forwards.”
- John Poulter, Director, Comstor Australia

“As Dr Ruby Campbell says, ‘the world urgently needs more critical thinking’. This book goes beyond talking about what will drive a profit for business but considers the type of leaders needed to deliver better outcomes for humans on this Earth. Both inspirational and useful, Ruby’s thinking will help individuals, organisations and nations achieve better results, for this and future generations, through a new wave of leadership.”
- Jen Marshall, Chief Product Officer, Isentia Australia
