AUPN's Leadership Minute is a brief, highly focused summary of practical advice for Chairs, Program Directors and other leaders in academic neurology, available as both mini-podcasts and in short form videos.

The goal of this program is to provide relevant and useful information in a modicum of time, designed to fit seamlessly into our very busy schedules.

While not a primary goal of education, learner happiness facilitates learner achievement (unhappy learners don’t learn). Making residents happy in the workplace requires that leaders:

Balance learners’ wants and needs
Adopt a collaborative leadership style and habits
Explain and facilitate learners’ achievement of “flow”
Do not tolerate “bad apples”
