In Session: Leading the Judiciary is an audio podcast designed to bring cutting-edge thinking about public- and private-sector leadership to the attention of judiciary executives. Each episode includes a conversation with one or more thought leaders whose research and expertise are relevant to the work of executives in the federal courts.Dr. Elias Aboujaoude's research shows that leaders emerge from unpredictable personal, psychological, and situational factors. His latest book, A Leader’s Destiny: Why Psychology, Personality, and Character Make All the Difference, cautions against relying on the often-marketed simplistic concepts of leadership and recommends organizations instead focus on the inherent psychological characteristics leaders need to be successful.
Dr. Aboujaoude is a Clinical Professor, researcher, and writer at Stanford University's Department of Psychiatry. He is the Chief of the Anxiety Disorders Section and Director of the Impulse Control Disorders Clinic. His work has been featured in publications to include The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and The Chronicle of Higher Education and on BBC, PBS, and CNN broadcasts.
